Hi Everyone, I am new and training to be a kilt maker. Can anyone help me to understand how to work out how many pleats to put into the kilt. Everywhere I look all is in inches and training is in centimetres should I convert my life to inches and yards would it make my life easier, so having to convert all the time and what is the allowance for a paunch. Is there an easy way to understand how to do it, I bought a kiltmaking book to assist me but not making head nor tail of it. I have made a couple of kilts but it just not clicking with me yet. Any help in laymans terms would be greatly appreciated
