How well do the pleats stay crisp? I was thinking of ordering some of their hand woven fabric, but then they said that that type of cloth doesn't hold a pleat as well. But they look nice and crisp in your pics. So, what's your opinion/experience so far with that?
I've worn it three or four times since I've finished it. I wasn't expecting much crispness from the pleats either, as I had read that on the site as well. They've remained pretty crisp so far though.

Thanks for the compliments guys
Thanks! At $30/yd, that's the most inexpensive wool fabric on their site. The Braveheart stuff is just a little more at $45/yd. I may have to order some myself.
that looks exalent ,, wish my pleats looked that good on the one I made. would like to see the top of it as well if that would not be a problem. did you do that all by hand.
I'll try to get some pictures of the top in the next day or two. I've got a christmas tree to put up, then some school work to take care of. But it's not a problem at all.
That's where the pleats are off though, which is why it's covered in that picture ;)
And yes, it was done by hand.
