Phil, I guess the answer would be yes, but only because they're made to fit a "standard" size person rather than made-to-measure. I'm pretty close to (but not exactly) standard, I guess, which may be why mine fits me reasonably well.

I notice that even my custom made kilts tuck their pleats a little in the area described above. I don't have a good picture of myself from the back, but coincidentally, your excellent pictures show this effect a little bit because you're standing still. You're a standard sized, well proportioned person, so this is a valid illustration of the effect.

. . .
See the areas just back from your sides where the pleats tuck in a little? That's the area where my Stillwater does the same thing - only a little more so. (Oh, and by the way, your custom-made kilts are a whole lot nicer than my Stillwater. No comparison.)

Mind you, I don't think any of this is a problem, just an observation. In fact, it seems perfectly normal to me. Darrell's situation sounds like it might be a problem because it's more pronounced and noticeable though.
