Scotweb 5yard

[Moosedog]

Hi, Downix,

Depending on your future brother-in-law's dimensions and the sett size of the fabric you choose, they may not be able to pleat a five-yarder to the sett. Sometimes if this is the case you can opt to pay for a little more fabric.

Also I have noticed on some five yard kilts they do not reinforce the pleats--although the pleats are less bulky and are not cut out, they still need some sort of reinforcement to avoid distortion across the pleats when tightening up the straps. I have a five-yarder that I had to open up and add a canvas stabilizer to.

So these are two questions I would ask the Scotweb folks when deciding what to order.

I am so torn between going for that (unless someone else could recommend someone that carries a Davidson tartan that would fit around his 50" waist for around the $200 mark) or diving in and making it myself. Before I try the latter option, however, will be doing a practice run on some cheaper flannel w/ a tartan pattern, to be sure I have it down pat.
