    The way I'm talking about pleating would look very much like the one in the third post on that thread.

    On the other hand, I really do like the look of the pleating to the yellow possingk posted.

    Tell you what,

    This stuff baffles me. I've had great success by asking my kiltmakers to pleat the kilt the way it looks best to them. When I've come up with wild ideas they've usually pointed out why another way will look sharper.

    I have 14 of Rocky's kilts and have just asked him to pleat it the way it looks best and I'm very happy with the looks of the pleats of all 14 of them. For me, much of what I'm paying for is the craftsmanship of knowing what looks best.

    That's my choice though. Obviously, the purchaser has a right to request what they want.

    Jeez, just realized the Army semi-trad will be USA Kilt #15 for me...and I bought my first USA Kilt 16 months ago...
