    it isn't difficult, just a little tedious.

    Historically, people just bunched it up, but most who wear the great kilt at various events try to pleat on the stripe or sett. I can do mine in about 15 minutes. but I have done it many, many times.

    As long as you have a nice smooth place to do it, it isn't too bad.

    where are you thinking of wearing it to?

    the minnesota (sp, sorry have bad spelling) highland games, or camping, or just around my general area, i live on a one roud subdivision and a forest to the south and the west, with a channel going to the lake, and a field to the north and east, i go hiking in the woods alot and find stuff i like to keep, but no pockets, there has to be somewhere to hide stuff in that huge thing

    i've lain mine out and pleated it within the scrunchy confines of a crowded tent. it would be simpler laying it out on the ground, but my modesty prevents that. it takes me 10 to 15 minutes tops. lots of big folds of material to put things in. if you plan on wearing it in the woods you'll have to watch it for a bit to see that you don't tangle on brush. over time that becomes second nature, but at least at first it's a real pain.
