XMarks tartan made to box pleat

As you say both do a grand job of it:



Flip a Coin, Forget bout Mr. Jones and have a grand day!


Your kilt will get there just as fast!

Please remember that this years run of X Marks Tartan fabric was in the Polyester/Viscous blend from Marton Mills.
This fabric weighs in at 12 oz. per Fabric Yard.
In my opinion this is a little light for a good Box Pleated Kilt.
I've seen Box Pleats done in 12 oz. fabric and it works and is great for really hot weather but the rule of thumb for Box Pleats is, the heavier the fabric, the better.

Ahhh-HEM!!!!

viscose

However, the wizard is right about box pleats and weight, which is why I *might* do a double-box (or I might not...). I also might re-sell the fabric on X-Marks, since I already have an X Marks tartan kilt.

Ehem!

I think it should also be pointed out that the XMTS fabric is MM PV and not wool.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
