Before I mess up...BADLY

[Wompet]

Having made two kilts out of 10 oz. duck, I feel your pain.
You want to include the reveal (1.5") + the pleat depth (3.75") + the backside of the previous pleat (3.75"); so, yes - 2 x 3.75 + 1.5

If I'm reading your post right, you currently have a pleat reveal of 1.5" and a pleat depth of 1.875" (your 3.75" is halved between the depth of your current pleat and the back of the previous pleat).

Did that help?

Easier version: what Steve said.

Thanks gents,
I shal now retire to my small dark sewing room and un-pin what I have done. I am quite glad I ran out of pins quickly!!!!!!!!! Moral of the story, sometimes you bite the bear, sometimes the bear bites you. But if each bear only gets one bite you are ahead in the game

Should I send you a Freedom Kilts Logo for the back?

In light of mine and others posting on another thread regarding professional and DIY'ers, thank you Steve for going above and beyond that of a kilt maker. To spend the time and effort to help ensure that a fellow member enjoys every success in making his own kilt. It is people like you who help make this a truly wonderful forum.
Weasle Mender congratulations and please post pics of the finished product.
