The latest kilt

[bubba]

That is knife pleated. What Price Glory sells them. Black Watch and Gordon Highlanders are knife pleated while the Seaforth Highlanders and Cameron Highlanders are box pleated. http://www.whatpriceglory.com/scot.htm

Gentlemen
Please see the whatpriceglory link above and tell me. Are the front & back of the Cameron the same kilt?

[bubba]

The What Price Glory kilts are all military pleated, to the stripe rather than to the sett.

Wonderful looking kilt! This garment has obviously been looked after over the last half century. I'm wondering if it might not be prudent, before having it drycleaned, to tack down the pleats... the way kilts come from the kiltmaker. Just a thought.

I think your right, I've been thinking the very same thing.
On a side note the kilt came with no belt loops or inner apron fixing method and no evidence of there ever having been any ! with this in mind I added some ties.
