Who wears a Kingussie Pleated kilt?

[Tommie]

Ah thanks guys.So it is still considered a Kingussie even though the pleats are reverse.
Well thats a relief.
Would'nt want to go out wearing something and being told its backwards.

Aye, you'll be fine. Your kilt will be pleated the same way as all Utilikilts (and I think several other types of neo-kilt), and there are thousands upon thousands of those in the world! Based on what research I could do, and talking to several people, the true kingussie pleat is much more obscure than the reverse kingussie. I wouldn't be surprized if there were less than 50-100 in the world, honestly (but that's purely speculative)... I only concretely know of 8- One in the Highland Folk Museum in Kingussie, one in the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin NC, one belonging to Al Bullman, one belonging to Larry Long, one belonging to another member of this forum (Pleater), two others that Matt has made (he said one of them was in Canada and the other was in Australia?), and my own.

Really, I'd probably be more likely to be told that my kilt was made backwards than you would!
