    A man of impeccable taste - a woman of surpassing talent - a kilt extraordinaire! It should be obvious that after punching three new holes in the belt, a new wardrobe was called for and only the finest would do. Bravo on a well-made and well-worn ( hmmm... ) double box pleat kilt.

    That is a handsome kilt. At a quick glance it's a standard box pleat, but then you move and the extra boxes are revealed.

    Based on the initial responses here, she was quite right.

    Ah, but what's one more added to the list.

    Chrystel did a terrific job on it! She deserves a standing-o!
