    There are of course the UKs. But, you're the only one I've seen here with a tartan Kingussie pleated kilt.

    I've never heard of these. Is there a thread I missed that explains the difference?

    Aren't UKs reverse Kingussie?

    I might have one of my original kilts left somewhere that is still in the Kingussie style, but all those that I have remade due to my shrinking waistline have been changed to the reverse as I find it much better in scrubland - aka my back garden - to have the pleats pointing backwards as they snag so much less frequently.

    I think that you are wise to have a heavy cloth, as I find that the reverse also flies less than the standard, though I think that a Kingussie would be ideal for running in. The reverse has a tendency to cling, some even to try to become trousers.

    I do like the look of that kilt - though hasn't it got a slightly pinkish tendency?

    Not that I have anything against pink, just that there could be some good natured observations from the gentlemen of X Marks on the subject.
