I have some friends in WWII reenacting who do a 15th (Scottish) Division and Cameron Highlander impression, and they do a lot of business with Jerry. To my knowledege, they haven't had any problems.

Cheers,

Somebody here on this board had one... And mentioned that it uses, erm, what was it called... I think he called them "rolled pleats." I am not sure. But it is a slightly different pleating on those. Somebody in the know want to help me out? As I seem to recall, rolled pleats are a hell of a lot thicker.

Some of them are box pleated too.

I've never heard a bad word about What Price Glory either service or product. His products are what he says they are with no hype. Heck, if he ever has a kilt in a 22 inch length I'm there.

I reenact 2nd Battalion, B Company Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, WWII. I deal extensively with Jerry Lee, without any incident.

I found out what rolled pleats were. WOW!

Must be one hell of a tank of a kilt. In 22 ounce wool, that be a heavy kilt!

Bubba, just got an email from Jerry. Looks like 23 inch is the shortest. A bit long on me, but I may do it and wear it a bit high(er).

David,

Keep in mind that military kilts are typically made with a 4" rise versus the more standard 2" rise on civillian kilts. So you will likely want a kilt a bit longer than you normally wear anyway.

The 'rolled pleats' as described are a lot less trouble to care for and maintain their shape almost regardless of treatment. You can easily see this if you experiment with folded paper, simulating ordinary knife pleats as opposed to the rolled pleats as illustrated by Deadbelly. If pleated to the stripe a kilt made this way can have a manageable length of cloth.
