describe the general features of your "ideal" kilt

[TheBlueCow]

Hmm... I think my ideal style for a casual, every day wear kind of kilt would be something like this:

• The top of the fell would be at the top of my hips, and I would do either no waistband and 1.75" belt loops (very casual) or more likely a 2" waistband with 2.25" belt loops. Because it would be a jeans-waist kilt, it would have to have a slope so the back would be higher than the front.
• I would want it to fall at about mid-knee.
• The apron would be 1/3 width (10" on my 30" waist)
• Symmetrical pleating. First and final pleats (rear-facing) would be 1/12 width each (on me that's about 2.5" each) and would finish up the front 1/2 of the kilt. The back 1/2 pleats would be symmetrical and forward facing, 6 pleats with a 2" reveal, and a rear center box pleat with a 3" reveal. Or maybe 8 pleats with a 1.5" reveal and a 3" rear center box pleat.
• Probably a snap closure. Though I'd like to add up to 2" of size adjustment for "fit"/waist variation
• Soft, mid-weight material that is preferably stain and wrinkle resistant.
• Front slant pockets, just for somewhere to put my hands.
• Side cargo pockets for my stuff.

Or something like that. I've been thinking about this for awhile myself
