Those are wonderful looking hose Robert.

Hello, Robert,

I'd never heard of double box pleating. Seems to me it would be very thick and bulky.

Lucky fellow to have someone make these things for you. I have had to make my own!

Here are the pics Wompet supplied of the double box pleat kilted skirt:







I don't imagine it would be very difficult to apply the principles of pleating and tapering to build a man's kilt with double box pleats.

Interesting. I can't wait to see the results.

I'm glad W2F found those pictures - I couldn't find my originals anywhere. The pleats are a little splayed from hanging in the cedar closet that way for over 30 years.
Having seen the double-box pleated skirt, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the kilt.

Ladies, gentlemen,

You will be able to see photos of my new double pleated kilt very soon !!!

It will be superb ...and not at all "bulky" !!!
