They didn't offer sewn down pleats, or any additional options, when I bought mine in 2003. I personally sewed down the pleats before giving it to a friend and it looks better, but it's still fairly rough.

Not to mention, once you've spent the extra money on the size (I'm a big man), the pleats, the belt loops, etc... You've pretty much came to the price of a much nicer kilt.

They serve their purpose, sure. I just think that there are better options for a casual kilt.
