I have a Stillwater heavyweight solid green, probably not unlike your saffron.


In the areas you mention, it doesn't hang altogether perfectly either, but mine isn't as bad as what you describe. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining; it was a good value all things considered. Beides, once moving, the less-than-perfect pleat splay in those areas are no longer noticable.

In all fairness, part of the problem in my case may be because I hang my kilts rather than roll than in a drawer (I live in a tiny apartment - no room for more drawers). My hand-sewn kilts don't have this problem, but then they cost many times what the Stillwater kilt did, so again, I have no complaints.

One other aspect of my Stillwater kilt I've noticed is that it has a little more over all taper from top to bottom than my other kilts. In other words, for a given width at the top, the bottom flares out a little more than my other kilts. Don't know if this is part of the problem, just thought I'd mention it.
