Thanks Matt,

I had a feeling that it was that way. When I made mine I was amazed that 4 yards double width of material ended up like it did, as in 8 yards long pleated down to roughly 1.5 yards finished.. So now when I see people speaking of 4 yard kilts I keep thinking how light they would be. Also, how few pleats they would have.

So does that mean that 4 yard kilts probably only have about 2 yards of double width fabric in them?

Keep in mind I am not knocking anyones kilt. I am just trying to figure out how to discribe what I made and what to look for if I buy one.

Thanks again.

Doc
