who does military box pleats?

[Tobus]

John at Keltoi offers military box pleats. Though I understand he is MIA these days (or was the last I heard). He did good work, and was one of the few left who would make them on the open market.

If you're looking for a MacKenzie modern kilt in full high-rise military style, have you considered just buying a vintage one? Oddly enough, the only military kilt I have is exactly that. They used to be quite common. It was always tough finding one short enough for me, but as I recall you're a rather tall fellow. Even if you couldn't find one with enough girth (vintage ones are usually for extremely skinny young soldiers), maybe it could be modified to fit?

Quality-wise, they beat the pants off the modern MoD kilts. It's an extremely heavy kilt. One of the things I really like about it is the internal elastic band that helps keep the pleats organized.

*edited to add: according to the tag in my MoD kilt, it was made by Hector Russell (Highland Industries Ltd.) in 1993. It's tagged as a Kilt No. 2 Q.O.H. (Queen's Own Highlanders, of course). I'm pretty sure they don't advertise making military kilts these days, but it could be worth contacting them and seeing if they would take one on. Just for good old times' sake.
