Barb's first box pleated kilt

[Barb T]

One of the bold stripes looks brown on my monitor. Is it brown or some other color?

Yup! The stripe that borders the deep royal blue is a dark tan. The pictures as posted on the site look a little faded on my monitor. I know that monitors differ a lot, but I might try re-processing the pics and uploading them again.

And, to answer another question, Lochcarron weaves it.

WOW! That is really a nice looking kilt!

A box pleat is more difficult than A knife pleat. However, 8 to 10 box pleats are much easier than 25 to 30 knife pleats. :-)

30? My kilts have been about 33 pleates. I figure it is about 2000 stitches just for the pleats.

Barb, Love the kilt, but...but... what about the traditional kilt, thought you were a devout traditional knife kilter. Nice to see that you are breaking out.

She just made a traditional kilt. As the box pleated kilt was standard fare c. 1790s up to the mid-1800s, it's very traditional.

I wondered if that was coming

M.A.C, I knew you would respond with the box pleat being the "traditional" kilt. Just couldn't wait for your reply. Thanks for not dissapointing me.
