Triple box pleats?
Just curious if anyone has tried an x-kilt, or other casual kilt, with triple box pleats?
I'm in progress of my first x-kilt, and my second one is going to have every pleat pieced togeather with the back panel being a different color than the outer part of the kilt. I had some length issues (bought 3 yards of denim before reading the xkilt manual) and figured out a way to hide the seam of two lengths of fabric in the pleat, just measured carefully, and have one inside "fold" stitched down.
I figure with similar size pleats, triple box pleats will about triple the amount of fabric used, and make the kilt warmer for the cool weather.
I would love for input on this idea, if I am crazy for even thinking of triple box pleats, or what.... I know there are people on here who do double box pleats...
