MacDonald of Glenaladale - reweave of the original setting

[figheadair]

surprised by the 5yd comment - Paul Henry is making me a five yard (well 6 with my waist!) in a Shepherd/Northumberland twill woven specially with undyed British wool - the choice of length in this case arising from the woollen rather than worsted yarn. But I know Paul has just made a five yard box-pleat kilt as it was on the table when I was there.


When you say a 'knife-box pleat' is that what I might think of as a military box? The sort of folded over pleat?

I've not had any dealings with Paul although am aware of his reputation. The style I want is very early (c1830), I'll need to contact him an see what he thinks. Yes, the box-knife pleat is what is commonly known as a military box.
