Well... now I'm jonesing. But thank you.

I'm home now but I have already had about 3 compliments on your handiwork with this one, and after a 5 or so hour drive back home there is not even a hint of a wrinkle in those lovely pleats. I also must say how impressed I am with the softness of the DC Daglish wool, none of my other wool kilts feel as comfortable as this one, thanks again.

Although my preference tends to be for the sett I recognise quality pleating to the stripe when I see it and Barb has it down to a "T"

Trefor
Most of my kilts are pleated to the sett, however as this tartan is for the Royal Naval Association it was my thought, and Barb agreed, that it should be done to the stripe to give it a more military feel.

Thanks for the tutorial for those of us who are newer in the kilt world. The pictures along with your post really helped to illustrate what you were explaining. I really got a lot of good information from your book before I purchased my first kilt, so much so that my daughter used your book as a reference for a presentation to her speach class about kilts.
Hopefully I can get my name on your waiting list for a new tank one of these days and be able to enjoy first hand what so many on this site already have. Keep up the good work, and keep the "lessons" coming our way please.
