Absolutely! It sounds like you have not yet decided what kind of kilt you want, so that should probably be your first decision. How much tartan you have may guide this. A traditional knife pleat kilt takes approximately 8 yards of material (4 yards of double wide). A box pleat needs about half that. Being in a warm area like Dallas, fewer yards of warm wool around your bum might make a box pleat seem like a good idea. Other kilt types like the kingussie or reverse kingussie are unusual but could be a fun alternative.

Once you have decided the kilt type, you then get to think about how to pleat things. The Gordan Dress Modern has a few obvious options. With a box pleat, the two most likely options are to either:
- pleat to the two dark blue stripes in the wide white strip area
- pleat to the two dark blue stripes in the wide blue stripe area
The first option would give you a very light colored behind. The second option would darken things up a lot.

For a traditional knife pleat, you could easily do the above two options, or pleat to set, or perhaps even pleat to the yellow strip if the pleats are small enough.

PaulHenery's advice is good. Try pinning up a few different pleating options and see what you like.

Have fun!
