Well, F&K's fabric tends to feel and act like one that is lighter than it actually is.
So, it wouldn't be my first choice.
For a box pleat, I'd say "no." It would not be "recommended."
For a knife pleat, it is doable, but will be a VERY light kilt.

Yeah, I am pretty well on the fence about starting this project. On the one hand, I really like trad looking kilts that can be machine washed. My world appreciates those.
On the other hand, don't want to put in 40 hours and have something that can't be worn. Was hoping somebody else had tried it.
