There was a thread sometime last year concerning how chiefs pleated their kilts, but for some reason that thread is closed. In it, I commented that most of the chiefs I have met have kilts pleated to the sett.

I have never noticed Sir Lachlan wearing such a kilt before...although I've never really paid any attention!
