Their great kilts are not like anything I have ever seen before. It is not 2 single width pieces butted up together, nor is it even double wide. It is single width fabric with the pleats at one end, and then a long length of unpleated cloth that you some how wrap around you an extra time? I simply do not get it, even with the instructions on their page. I'm simply too stuck in the historic era having worn great kilts most of my life.
It's interesting to me how many small variations I've found in people's descriptions; thus, the desire for a photo to better understand what's going on. Your description does make me most cautious in regards to the cheater pleats.

Isn't a traditional great kilt double-wide fabric which is generally hand-pleated in the middle? Do you wear your great kilt regularly or more for events? I'd imagine it would be quite time consuming to pleat your plaid every day. I must admit, though, I am quite impressed with how versatile it can be.
