    Sounds like an interesting kilt. I'm also a fan of the military box pleat. I expect to be ordering one in Black Watch from Kathy Lare in the very near future. About 12 lbs from now to be exact. LOL

    I originally was thinking that you could make extra wide pleats, then do the military roll pleat, but only to cover half the exposed pleat. That would give the pleats a 3D effect and also double the visual effect of the pleats. That is a little too much to deal with, so I'll just be happy if I can get a rolled military box pleat done in canvas with fully sown in pleats. I'll put that on the list and do the corisponding voodoo dance.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
