    I have a pleat kick question that I've been meaning to ask, and this seems like as good a time as any.

    The last two kilts I made have hidden pleats in the left apron edge, and when I walk both of these kilts kick a bit along that edge. When I stand still, the left edge lays down perfectly. It only pops when I walk. None of my other kilts do this, and they don't have a hidden pleat.

    Is this kicking perhaps due to the hidden pleat? Has anyone seen this phenomenon before? Circumstantial evidence seems to point to the hidden pleat as the culprit.

    Thoughts?
