Looks great Chef and am pleased that you like it.
As to what you disagree with on my review I will have to check back and see if I somehow misunderstood the question or whether mine is different in that area etc.

OK Chef I checked back and checked my kilt.
It's a misunderstanding of the phrase "cut out."
No doubt one of those transatlantic expressions that are not clear in meaning.
I read it as "cut out" to mean cut into shape and manifestly present, you meant "cut out" as meaning cease or desist. If you had asked if the pleating ceased in that area or not you would have got a clearer answer.
It's not an area that I normally examine in detail and indeed many of my kilts have the lining sewn in so they couldn't be checked without being unpicked.
Hope this clears up the apparent difficulty with my review.
Enjoy your kilt and welcome to the IOS owners club!

I had no difficulty with the review. In fact if not for your well done review I probably would not have purchased the kilt. Thanks for taking the plunge.
Actually what I meant by "cut out" was removed. In most hand made kilts, the excess material on the inside, along the fell, is removed to reduce the bulk. The kiltmaker then adds a stiffener and sews in a lining to reinforce the area. You usually can't see it has been removed; you just know because of the sewn liner and the lack of bulk at the back of the kilt. Most people probably don't know this is done, because they can't see it. They probably presume that the construction looks like what you can see in the Woollen Mill kilts we have.
I was pretty sure from your pictures that they didn't remove the excess but since you had the kilt and I didn't, it would have been wrong to contradict you. I wasn't sure if it was a misunderstanding or something I couldn't see. When I saw that mine was the same construction as yours then I knew.
In this case it probably isn't a difference in language (I have heard Scottish kiltmakers refer to "cutting out the pleats", though it may not be a universal term) just a little more knowledge about the construction of kilts. My Great Aunt was a kiltmaker.

Note to Chef:
Add to thy wish list: One pair purple Lewis kilt hose from Scottish Tartans Museum to go with Isle of Skye kilt. Consider white or lovat green traditional garter ties to go with purple Lewis kilt hose.
You'll be most pleased having that as an option.
Great purchase.

Owing to my conservative nature, I decided to start with lovat green hose and purple flashes. If I like that, then I'll think about the purple hose. I just need to take baby steps to the wild side.
