Hi Peter
This is great feedback - thanks!
The approximation in the chapter on how kilts are constructed was actually never intended to allow you to figure out how many pleats you'd have for a kilt. I'll make sure that it's clear in the second edition! And, truthfully, I should really change that chapter to say 36" at the _hips_, not the waist, because that's the determining measurement. So, thanks for pointing me to what I should rewrite with that.
The only way to figure out # of pleats is to actually lay out your tartan and figure it out. 23 pleats isn't horrible by any stretch of the imagination!
And thanks for the Option A-Option B part that I need to clarify.
Cheers,
Barb
