I mean, even the nominal "eight yard" kilt often has less than eight yards of cloth. Let alone the historical (and modern revival of) the four yard box pleated kilt.

I'm just trying to correct a misperception about kilt yardage that is fairly common, be it in Scotland, Canada, the United States, or elsewhere.
The thing is Matt and I respecfully point this out again.There are 5 million or so Scots and umpteen million other people in the world that have a perception of what a real kilt is. They have never heard of boxpleats, you, me, or Xmarks and they are never likely to.Their loss maybe, but that is the way it is.
