Am I wrong?

Just received the USA kilt in the mail today. Love the color fits very well. Only issue is there is a slight inner pleating on the front left apron, it hangs about a half an inch lower than the front, and it make the pleat maybe 15 degrees off. But with a seamstress in the family it can easily fixed bay a few stitches and a recrease.

Does what you are seeing look like this?

If so, these are what we call "Apron tips". They are the result of the taper to the apron edges. The tips are perfectly normal but are usually sewn up so they do not show.

You do not need a tailor. Here is a thread by Barb T that talks about these tips and shows how they are sewn up. Anyone who can sew on a button can sew up the apron tips.

Alternately, and only if you have apron tips, may I suggest that you take some photos and send them to Rocky. This guy is as honest as the day is long and stands behind his products 100%. Give the guy good photos so that he can properly evaluate what is going on. If, and that's a pretty big if, Rocky's crew forgot to sew up the apron tips, give him a chance to make it good.

If we forgot to sew up the first pleat tip (like in the photo example Steve gave), then I apologize profusely. Please email me offline with pics so I can show it to the kiltmakers and discuss a remedy with you. rocky@usakilts.com

I find it funny you are showing a Thompson gray, when this whole post is about a Thompson kilt. And Rocky I will, even if its a lesson for your makers. Just don't whip them to hard about it.
