Addendum?

That is eight knife pleats on the left (pointing toward the back center line) and eight knife pleats on the right, both center pleats joining together in the back to make a reverse box pleat.
As of now I have a wearable but not perfect kilt. I screwed up the pockets so I'm going to remake them, the kilt is using fabric straps instead of Velcro but I'm going to replace then with leather straps for stability of the apron, and the button hole for the left strap isn't just right yet so I'm going to rework that too. My next one when I get this just right will be a Thomson gray tartan (MacTavish Gray).
I wish you luck. Just get the X-kilt document and take your time.
I don’t see the reverse Kingussie addendum.
