    I know Stillwater is represented her on the forum. I just can't remember by whom.

    To whomever......Is there a reason these mods are not done during manufacture?????

    Steve, I think that Jerry's ID is Sciuropterus, but I don't see him post much, so I don't know how often he reads the board.

    I think the reasoning given is so that each individual can adjust the kilt so that it hangs right for them.

    Great post, Alan. Entertaining as well as informative, and very good to know since we may have to do this on my oldest DS's SW (I got the pleats sewn down, btw).

    I have a Stillwater HW..... For those of you that have tried this method on the HW, I have a question.

    I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but I seem to remember that the apron is stitched down to the fell on the left side at the first pleat. Did you have to unstitch the first pleat to adjust the left edge of the apron, or did you just make the adjustment from the fell down to the bottom?

    I know this is an old thread, but wanted to thank you for posting it. You have helped me in fixing this "problem" on a few of my kilts

    Same here. I keep a link to this thread on file, so I can paste it in when someone brings it up.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for this. The night of my first wear my SWK standard started curling. I'm heating up the iron right now.

    Just remember that acrylic melts under high heat. DO NOT fire that iron up too high.
