It has excellent swing, so I'd like to reproduce it on kilts in the future.
I saw your post after I posted this about the military box pleat. The pic might help.

I'm pretty sure Barb is intending her extra chapter to cover only the regular box pleat. (But, perhaps she would entertain the idea of a reference to the other styles? :rolleyes: )

The military box pleat is a daunting task for even the most foolhardy among us. For a year now, I have been pursuing the techniques to make my own. This extended to a couple of practice pieces, including one kilt (still unfinished.) That thread with pictures of the work in progress is here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=16994

If any of this helps - great. Good luck in your kiltmaking adventures.
