Sailortats, I am trying to reply to your threads but my windows 7 is crashing all over the place and wants to update itself.
Query on using box pleat for summer kilt. Could be next year. I am trying to visualise how this works, not on a school skirt but on 5 to eight yard kilt. please can someone explain. Does this give more pleats and make Kilt stiffer ?

I have an 8 yard light 8 oz Black Watch Lidl Cheapie knife edged pleat. This is really cool, even cold. but has held its shape for a months every day wear. Good Hack Day wear. Would not wear Dancing or to a do. Really light kilt.
Has Gold of Glasgow Lable. Believed to have been made abroad. Certainly not kilt maker standard.

My 7 yard 12 oz Ancient Mackay is warmer but still cool in evenings

My UK order for Cornish manufacture 8 yard 16 oz Black Cornish Tartan is Now a week old. Eighth in line, for delivery. might be two months delivery in Scottish wool. Sort of Directly, Maybe Some when.

You might find bits of these threads any where. Might even sort computer before Kilt arrives.........Roderick
