Confusion. PV, wool, casual, 5 yrd, 8 yrd

[cdarwin]

Its not just USAKilts, many kilts seem to be catagorized this way or something similar.
Maybe I should have used the word fashion instead of casual. Any kilt I have should have a classic style, but I can see getting a high & low waisted kilt. I have no desire to own a kilt suited for a scene of "Spartucus".

I have no idea what you're on about.

I assume the difference between a 5 & 8 yrs is the "under plait" or the material you dont see. Isnt that what makes the kilt lay down & provide the "swoosh"?

The difference between 5 yards and 8 yards is 3 yards. In reference to the kilt, it means how much square yardage the kilt is made from. A higher yardage kilt will (generally) have more (smaller) pleats as more material is being used in the (rear) pleated portion of the kilt.

Square yardage has nothing to do with kilts. Eight yards, four yards, etc... refers to the linear yardage of the kilt.

AND WORD TO THE WISE- He means he doesn't want a leather kilt or anything of solid color ("contemporary kilts" are likely the no-no, as opposed to proper tweed kilts). That seemed fairly plain to me.

Thank you for clarifying my mistake and for interpreting the confusing mess above.
