At last, I have ordered a 'Lady Chrystel'!

[Hamish]

Yes folks, after much deliberation and soul searching, I have finally made up my mind and have given my order to 'Lady Chrystel' in France for one of her absolutely stunning double box-pleated kilts. I have taken the easy route and have selected one of her from-stock PV fabrics for this, rather than going for a woollen tartan or tweed material straight away. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/lady.chrystel/kilts.html

In truth, this is just a stop-gap measure because I have not yet found, what would be for me, the perfect tartan for this unique style of pleating - and I can wait no longer! My 'Kilt Kollection'(TM) has been desperate to include a Lady Chrystel double box-pleated kilt in its inventory since Ancienne Alliance first showed them to us - now we have taken the first step to make that a reality.

I will keep you posted..........

Take care,
Ham.

What kind of yardage goes into the double-boxes?

[Southern Breeze]

Congrats on the new kilt!!

[Ancienne Alliance]

What kind of yardage goes into the double-boxes?

Basically it's a 6 yarder kilt (PV , 11oz ).
7 yards for tweed or 16oz.
Please note that most of the time, fabric is sold "double width" ; so you would need 3 yards for a 6 yards kilt etc.

Announcement : It isn't too late to order your Double Box Pleated kilt for Christmas !


Best,

Robert & Chrystel

Gosh that's going to look great. I can't wait to see yours. The photo of the Robertson tartan on the site makes me anxious to get one.
