    a reverse-Kingussie pleated Xkilt (with thanks to Sydnie7 for the inspiration).



    Pleat stitching closeup. The pleats below the fell are not stitched.


    Back view. You can see where the pleats meet in the middle.



    Fabric: woven suede (difficult to work with, has a lot of give).

    - I'm debating whether to add cargo pockets.

    - Also considering to use 1" black nylon webbing for belt loops.

    Any suggestions or preferences?

    As usual Mein another great kilt, I'm a fan.
