Thank you everyone for your answers on my pleat stitching question.

I am sorry I am having difficulty with the irony of the kilt being sewn from cloth woven in England, with thread made in Germany, by a California kiltmaker who has the signature line "If its not Scottish, its crap."
It's a funny line from the movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer". If you haven't seen it, it's a hilarious movie. Mike Myers' impression of the Scottish father (with his Scottish Wall of Fame) is great. I suspect Josh has it in his sig line as a bit of humor.
