Fringe or no fringe

[Domehead]

Yes, Yes. Again, not passing any judgement. When I was deciding on my first kilt, I began drinking up much of Matthew A.C. Newsome's research on the historic edifices for the box-pleated kilts. When I found the images of the earliest examples, I never gave it another thought. Over the years, I've come to realize that the "norm" is an 8yd knife-pleat, most likely with a fringed edge...fair to say? I guess I did'nae realize the 4yd box-pleat is still (relative, again) a tad avante gaurd, even among kilties. Now, I've developed an internal image: me in highland dress (whether realistic or not) and I can't see myself wearing anything else - which may or may not be a good thing.
