Well smart Howard, both you and the kilt. I have a 13oz knife pleat Gordon which I adore but your kilt has me thinking! Did you order the tartan yourself?

He bought the fabric from me and I have a lot left, if anyone is interested.

I wonder, would a green jade handle on a sgian go with this tartan Hmmnn...

This makes my fourth box pleat, three of them are Matt's very excellent work. It is my second by Barb, but the other one is a tank.

I like both. The knife pleated kilts did not initially appeal to me very much, but I have grown to like them. They are just different, that's all.

Congratulations. Very nice kilt. Barbara is an artist with needle and thread.

Fantastic kilt!
Great work Barb.

It was a bit of an experiment, and I haven't heard back from him about whether it's the right amount of flare or not.

It's just right, I think. I really need to wear it all day to find out for sure, I suppose. But the weather, and deer hunting for a week is making that impossible for the moment. If it were any higher rise, it would not be enough flare, but with the 2-1/2" rise, it works out fine.

My wife thinks it looks good, so I think it is spot on.

If it isn't enough, it's not all that hard to fix. I'd just take off the lining and the top band and stretch it a bit more while I'm putting the top band back on. Just let me know!
