    Oh, what a sharp pair of eyes you have, Anne! (But, sorry that the pleating style bothers you.)

    I don't have a problem with non-traditional styles, especially if they are functional and also looks good.

    Has anyone ever seen such a kilt elsewhere on the web, i.e., a reverse knife-pleated kilt? If not, then I put first dibs on it. LOL

    It appears that the pleats are open to the left - not the right?

    That is when the kilt is viewed from the right side, as worn.

    Easier to keep the pleats smooth when getting into a left hand drive car - but not the traditional way to turn them.

    The kilt looks really sharp, very neat - love the pleat shot - but why that way round?

    Reversed or forward, it is a very nice looking kilt. Nicely done.
    I agree that it has a formal office look to my eye as well.

    Cheers,

    Not a bad idea

    Reversing the pleats for a left hand drive car, not a bad idea. I won't drive kilted in America for that reason, no problems with the pleats here in Scotland with the right hand drive. Maybe you should patent the idea....

    Thank you all. Well, it works well for drivers in left-handed cars; OR for passengers in right-handed cars. So UK kilt-wearers can make use of a "reverse-knife" pleated kilts, yes?
