One might wonder if using more fabric (deeper pleats) and heavier weight fabric (16 or 18 oz might affect the tendency for a standard Kingussie kilt to fly more prevalently in a wind than other styles. I currently have 8 meters of custom woven Allen 1996 16oz Dalgleish tartan (for very special family reasons) which i was considering having made up into a Kingussie but am now rethinking my plans a bit in this regard. Would all the fabric be able to be used in a Kingussie build up, or would a reverse Kingussie or standard 8yd knife pleat make better use of all the fabric available and be more functional to boot.
Lets keep talking a bit more about this as I am on the cusp of a decision and do not wis to make the wrong one with this special fabric. Thanks.
