Another Robertson, soon to be kilted

**albagubrath89** · 24th January 14, 12:22 PM

Hi all, Just got fitted for my first Kilt!

Ive gone for The Modern Hunting Robertson. I've requested it Pleated to the stripe, but as the Master Kiltmaker is not back till Monday there was some uncertainty they said they would phone me directly to discuss it on mondey upon the return of the kiltmaker. I'm thinking it is appropriate to have it Pleated to the red stripe, What say ye!?

Mine is pleated exactly this way. I love it. Excellent choice, coz!

The information about only being able to pleat to the white stripe is absolute nonsense, I'm afraid. Infact, pleating to the white would use a huge amount of cloth in this sett. By comparison, the depth of the pleats would be halved pleating to the red. My Lochcarron Strome hunting Robertson, pleated to the red stripe has twenty eight pleats and can be seen on the second link posted by Calgacus. I'd definitely speak to the kiltmaker, not just one of the shop assistants, who I think has misled you. Good luck!

Mine's ancient hunting, but pleated to the stripe, and for me with this tartan the best way to go. Which mill by the way?

Thanks for the feedback kinsmen! I believe the mill is Lochcarron

Locharron is very, very nice. Good choice.

Welcome aboard

From the pictures I've seen of the Robertson hunting, great choice! Be sure to show us the kilt once it arrives.

Hi all, chatted with someone from the store today who told me the Kilt maker, said she could only pleat to the white stripe obviously it can be done the other way, But I have allowed her judgement as a recognised Master (over 45 years in the trade) as best, so hopefully it looks just as swish!, ill be sure to show you all what its like
