Just the question I was going to pose to Matt! That is, could he estimate the amount of yardage. The pleats are smaller than on Matt's 4-yard boxpleated kilts, but larger than on 20th century military 8-yard boxpleated kilts.
About kilt pins, here are the numbers:
34 of the 56 kilted figures have that part of the kilt visible.
Of those, only 6 have kilt pins. None are like our 20th century sword or sword & targe etc styles or blanket pin style. They are:
2 open circles
1 open oval
1 like a clan crest cap badge
1 a clan crest without the surrounding circle
1 complex design
One kilt has rosettes.
About cap badges:
25 Glengarries with visible badge
22 Balmorals with visible badge
1 Glengarry lacking badge or cockade
3 Balmorals without badge
