Rather than buying something that you have to mess with, why not just get a kilt with a stitched-down fell to begin with? If you can settle for a solid (vs. tartan), there are several vendors here, myself included, who can fix you right up. If you really want a tartan, look a bit farther and find something that suits within your budget.

There is at least one thread about stitching down the pleats on a Stillwater but, to me, they always look like what they are -- somebody's attempt to alter a garment after the fact.
