I love my Alphakilt as well, and I must say their design is brilliant. It seems (and I'm just guessing) they take an appropriate length of prefabricated pleated material (2 lengths in the case of the reverse kingussie style knife pleated kilt) hem it, taper it, sew a cap on the under apron and attach the over apron. After that it's just snaps, belt loops and maybe pockets. Pretty simple for a custom job, and especially for such a high quality kilt.
By the way, I too find the under apron pocket a little small. I originally planned to use it for my wallet, but it is just too narrow. However, I do recommend finding something that fits in it (I use a tiny bible) as it can help the under apron fall between the legs when sitting, and when the material gets broken in, it can protect you on a windy day.

Personally, I love the AlphaKilt look, actually all of their designs. He has a new on rolling out, it's quite handsome. The material is awesome.
I haven't met one person who was unhappy with Daron's service, he is a heck of a guy, kiltmaker and veteran!
I have a great pic of a serious AlphaKilt kilt check I have to post.
Semper Fi!
