Problem with my kilt's pleats

Sounds like the hip measurement is too small on the kilt you are wearing.

that seems likely. If the kilt is made for an "average" guy, it may have about 6 inches taper from hips to waist. Measure it and see: you can get a very close approximation by taking a tape measure around the arc of the waist/hip line in 5 or 6-inch chords.

If the hip dimension is lacking, a possible work-around is to loosen the waist straps slightly to allow it to sit better on the hips. Optionally wear a belt, to remove some slack at the waist.

It's all in the hips..

I agree with what they said. I never buy the budget kilts on eBay or the off the rack kilts from Stillwater because they never fit me right.
