How does it fit?

[corbmonster]

That fold-under at the first pleat is normal...

thanks, I wouldn't have thought so.

IF the fold-under wasn't there, there would a little corner of the reverse pleat hanging down under the front apron.

[Leoghan]

in regards to the fold in the first pleat, I've seen them on some kilts and not others. the ones i had from stillwater kilts had them on both sides, but my 5 yard wool from USA kilts does not have them and the corners don't poke out from under the kilt. is this just differences in kilt making? or is the fold over kind of like a "short cut" in kilt making?

[Calgacus]

Both my kilts are traditional 8 yard kilts and both have the fold on both sides. They are indeed there to stop the reverse pleats from showing.

Corbmonster, I'd just echo what others have said above about the fit, and suggest the length could be an inch shorter, but it's a matter of taste.
