Black Stewart Stillwater Thrifty Kilt first impressions

[usonian]

Yes, my medium size has 12 knife pleats, each about 1.5 inches wide (and I would say about 1.5 inches deep as well, but I haven't measured). By "Fully pleated" I expect they mean that the pleats are formed all the way from the waist to the bottom edge, versus some of the weird configurations I've seen on cheapo kilts where the waistband and/or fell are a separate piece of tartan sewn on the bias. Check out BuchananBiker's shots of his Buchanan Thrifty Kilt from a few years back (including a good pleat shot which was what sold me: )
