who does military box pleats?

[Steve Ashton]

Wow, the kilt in the photo above is just about ready to come apart. it seems that there is no stabilizer built into it or the stabilizer has failed or perhaps someone moved the straps and did not catch the stabilizer when they sewed them back on.
The apron is being totally distorted.

And I'm sorry but I'm not going to volunteer for this job. Military box pleats are not my favorite. And the only weaver offering 18oz fabric is House of Edgar. Their prices are really high, and their fabric is different that the fabric used back when. It is modern kilt fabric. Worsted Twill weave but not "In the grease" which is why the old kilts feel so heavy and stiff.

The current RRS kilts are made of 16oz fabrics and are machine sewn/hand finished. Black binding and single prong buckles.

Plus I am off to teach at Kilt Kamp next week and I am writing the last chapters of "The Art of Contemporary Kiltmaking" so my calendar is full.
