Brace Yourself: X-Kilt manual, 2nd ed

Bravo, Alan!

(So I suppose you don't want me to send you photos of how I make my reverse Kingussie with the centered external box-pleat that doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before! )

Centered external box sounds like the original Kinguisse -- do your knife pleats face the apron? If so that's Kingussie, RevK is just the opposite. I've heard that original K makes it easier to sweep pleats, would be interested to hear first-hand.

No, it's reverse K with the pleats all facing toward the center rear. I put one big box pleat right down the center of the rear so that the flat 2.5" wide box is showing rather than having the edges of the knife pleats meeting along the middle of the rear like in a UK.

I'll get a photo up when I can (hopefully without causing Alan to rupture something critical).

Wow that is amazing! I can't wait to try to make one myself!

Faster server this time.

I thought I posed this somewhere else but the intarwebz is being a butt right now. If a mod finds the other post, can you merge/fix/fold/spindle/mutilate/mangle/munge/delete duplicate/stamp 'air mail', etc.?

Thanks for the hard work! Maybe I'll actually get around to making one this time.

Great! And even RevK added too. Now I can check what I did wrong on my first RevK.

Thanks to all contributors.
