The "maker" of my great kilt misunderstood the literature describing the measurements (essentially 54 - 60" wide X 6 yds long) and sent me the tartan measuring 108" wide X 3yds long. At first I cpmplained, but while preparing it for wear for the first time, I discovered that it didn't take much time to hand-pleat and I liked the extra cloth over my long back that allowed me to come up with a variety of ways to drape the plaid portion. The company eventually went out of business, but I liked their products.
