Looking for the best casual kilt

[gsmacleod]

I have several USA Casual Kilts. They are pretty good in the price category. They do not have 5 yards. I would say maybe 3 yards.

Having made a box pleated kilt out of just under 4 yards of material with seven pleats for a 36.5" waist, I'm having trouble seeing how a knife pleated kilt could be constructed with only 3 yards of material unless one cut out the underapron or were making it for someone with an incredibly slim waist.

Granted I have no experience with these kilts and would be curious to see if they're actually made with only 3 yards of material.
