How is it supposed to look?

[Jimmy Carbomb]

I need to have this "A" look thing explained to me.

I don't think, in kilts, that's an actual term. It is, however, an appropriate way to describe the "hang" that's evident in the AmeriKilts and UtiliKilts.

If you look at a Scottish Traditional, or a BearKilt for that matter, they have a curve in the drape that hugs the backside, the hips and the apron. They start small at the waist, and have a bend when they drop.

The modern American kilts tend to start small at the waist, and flare-out with a consistant taper. It's VERY difficult to iron them into the traditional drape. This is why the pleats will often appear to tuck or fold in strange directions. When ironing them, you actually need to let the ever-widening taper go!
