    I have to wonder how machine stitched pleats can be handmade?

    By taking your hands, folding the pleat along the mark, then guiding it through the sewing machine I guess...

    Any way, that was just where the mention of the khaki kilt and Black Watch got me looking for the answers to my questions.

    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
