NEWSOME BOX PLEAT – St. Patrick Tartan

Aye, Matt. I does have a great feel. I'll break out my new mini steamer and take care of those wrinkles today!

Very nice kilt. I often wear cable sweaters with my kilts.

Pleated to Sett? I have only seen Matt pleat to stripe on box plats. Looks different, but good.

If you don't mind my asking, how wide are those pleat reveals?

Yep.
I have my St. Patrick tartan kilt without the box pleats. Looks different to me, but still looks great! What weight would that Tartan be? I know mine is the 13 oz.

Just wondering.

Now, that's just wonderful...

This cloth is 16 oz heavy weight, and I believe I made th epleats 3" wide at the hip.

I like the pleat to the sett.

Thanks for the motivation. The kilt looks great. I've got 8 yds. of that waiting to be made for a couple years now. Now seems like a good time to start so it's ready by St. Patrick's day.
