Sigh - that Hamish - one sharp dresser!!

Still on the construction of the kilt - if you could make the pleats so they were at the same distance apart in the pleats as on the fabric at the point where the jacket would cut across it, then you would have them matched up as long as you cut the jacket correctly placed on the fabric for them to line up.

It could be done - if you have that sort of mind.

The pinstripe must be the only pattern where you could pleat both to the stripe and to the sett in the same kilt.
