I note your screen name as a re-enactor. If you're doing a period before 1830, my understanding from others on this forum is that most kilts were box-pleated then, something that uses a lot less fabric, normally pleated to the stripe.

Sorry - I need to pay closer attention.

Curious to see what the kiltmakers will have to say on the subject.

Yes very similar size sett, that’s what I suspected about the swing. Nice looking kilt by the way. I have a Smith kilt as well but opted to pleat to the blue stripe, as I recall I don’t think I had enough fabric to do otherwise.
