Hey Tommie, there are kilts pleated like that called "Kinguisse kilts.

Matthew Newsome talks about this style of kilt part way through the artical. It's a rare style, but no one can complain that it's wrong.

Im going to try pleating from the very back-and pleat both sides so that the pleats all point to the rear.
I know it goes against the grain on how a kilt is made,and I just hope it won't offend some burly scot or irish man,and they rip it off me.
So when i find the right material and have it finished I will post a pic of it in the photo section.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

If you make one though, Tommie, you will have a very rare style of kilt. If I were a kilt maker, I would make one. Wish you luck.

"Great minds..." I believe that pleater specializes in this style. It's also much like the Utilikilt, IIRC.
