So, do I understand that the pleat that contains the pocket is not sewn down as all the others are?

Do your pockets cause a lifting or distortion of the pleat when your hands are in them or when they are full?

Nice approach -- like a giant bound buttonhole.

I've got a different design concept, still noodling around with it but will post if/when it comes to pass. Part of my problem is getting Bob to stand still for measurements and "try ons"! But considering that I have him rebuilding an entire brick planter as my birthday present, I really can't complain...

No, the pleat with the pocket is also sewn down too. The top of the pocket opening starts at the bottom of the sewn pleat. I place the pockets towards the front of the kilt. One pocket is in the double pleat on the right and the other is in the first pleat on the left after the outer apron. And since the pockets extend toward the middle of the legs, the contents tend not to bulge when you are standing. Your hands do however show a little when you have your hands in the pockets. Image having pockets in a pair of sweat shorts. I hope this answers your questions.
