I expected them to be up much sooner than this, but I had a lot going on family wise. For any one worried about how the pleats hold up this is after 2 days of very hectic activity including running around a park and wrestling with my dogs. This is the wine colored heavy weight twill. The kilt is box pleated and the buttons are ones I selected from what Alt.Kilt offered. It is a great kilt for whenever you are in need of a good durable kilt for activities less suited to a good tartan kilt. It is great for travel, Saturday chores, washing the dogs etc.
