Mine is a medium weight full 8 yards. I'm intending to take it up with the kiltmaker for my second kilt. I'll let you know if I learn anything.

Maybe our own personal 'Oracle of Xmarks' (Aka Hamish) may have the answer already.)

Oooooh! Al. You do know how to flatter a chap, don't you?!!!

Actually, I DON'T have an answer to this one at this moment, possibly because I have not noticed this phenomenon with my kilts (Maybe I just happen to have a perfect body-shape!!!!)

It is too late now for me to start trying them on now, but I'll certainly look out for it tomorrow.

Many people found that Utilikilts had this 'curling' problem, but this was (I think) put down to the fact that the cotton-based fabrics, when washed, shrank slightly, but the thread used to sew down the pleats did not (or was it Vice-versa?!). This resulted, in time, with the one pulling against the other. Now, the Utilikilts are hemmed and I understand the problem has been reduced if not eliminated.
