Altering P/V?

[Chas]

Hello,
I did a search and looked thru all the archives on here but still can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Wondering if anyone on here can help.

Has anyone tried to put a lining and stabilizer on a P/V kilt? And if so, how hard and is it worth it?

I only ask because a few weeks ago I ordered an 8yd p/v. While jonesing for this new kilt, I got to thinking. There's going to be an awful lot of material gathered in the back where normally a traditionally made kilt will have the pleats cut out and lined.

The kilt will arrive within a month so I have yet to see how its made, how much material will be bunched up, etc.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi Eric,

You didn't tell us with whom you placed your order, but from my experience the larger kiltmakers make all their kilts the same way. That is to say that it will have a lining and the pleats will be cut away. The only difference will be the material.

I have two Geoffrey (Tailor) PV kilts made that way as my woollen ones.

Regards

Chas
