Dear all,

I haven't posted here in a while, but I guess the thread is still open...
For an update, I've decided to change the doublet to a regulation doublet (this one infact, from Mackenzie Frain):


Not that I see that changing the rest of my outfit that much.

What I am really considering is the kilt itself- I have decided to go with the heavyweight option, but was wondering if there would be a huge disadvantage to using less yardage in the pleats? (I was also considering pleating to the red stripe in the weathered Gunn, which I think would look good). Of course, I am looking for opinions, both on the yardage (what would be the minimum one could make a formal kilt from?), and also on the pleating option (to the stripe).

As the wedding is going to be in Spain in July, I'm really looking at losing a bit of extra wool, if at all possible, without of course compromising the integrity of my outfit.

I really appreciate the input.


Cheers,

Michael
