'Kingussie' Pleated

[long_hand]

I actually really like that...like...alot.

I usually use either 4 or 5 yards for a Kingussie for an average kilt (made for hips 46" or less). If your hips are over 46" add another yard.

Maybe Ryan can post pics of the kilt I made for him.

Taking 6 yards as a maximum, that would be almost precisely 5.5 metres.

With a tartan you might need to centre the front and back on a particular part of the set, but the smaller the sett the less fabric is lost to that end - but as you are only just into the larger sizes Mr Newsome's stimates should still hold good.

Thanks to you all, especially Matt and Anne. Should make my choices easier.

My girlfriend and I went to Kingussie last year on a trip to Scotland just to see this kilt as we have seen the one the Scottish Tartans Museum has. We were told by the lady at the B & B we stayed at that the towns museum had closed. But, some of the things had been moved to the next town over, Newtonmore. Went there but it was not there. :-(

I'm a bit late on the draw, but here goes:



I love this kilt. It's nice to have something a little different, and the pleating makes it exceptionally easy to sit in, without messing up the pleats. Big fan of this style.
