    David, that was a well reasoned argument in favour of the 6 yard knife pleat kilt. Thanks for taking the time to work through the advantages!

    The only problem I can foresee is that those pleats are razor sharp and liable to cut someone

    Thank-you, David. While nothing quite has the swish of an 8 yarder, my 6 yard kilt and my 6m kilt both are generally more comfortable to wear yet still look traditional. I wonder if we'll see a return to lower yardage kilts any time soon due to this and other economic factors.

    Love that Carolina BTW.
