Hi Brian
Yes - its one of the possible evils when you mix a large sett and 5 yards of fabric - the kilt maker decided to maximize the number of pleats (21) so they fudged the pleating. I actually like the effect but others I suspect may not.

Phil, that is another fine kilt you have there, beautifully co-ordinated (as usual!) and worn with striking confidence - what else should we expect?!! I love the colours in that version of the Caledonia tartan, but then I prefer all the Ancient, Muted and Weathered colours to the modern ones. Well chosen my friend.

Looks great! The two blues (shirt and hose) work so well with it.

Those are very kind words indeed Ham - its funny - as time goes by I have really come to appreciate the Ancient, Muted, and Weathered version of colors as well - and I think that "Ancient" red is just a beautiful shade of red indeed.

That is a great looking kilt. I was amazed with the number of pleats that it had with it being a 5 yarder. And I like the way it's pleated... sorta pleated to half of the sett. It's kinda neat; never seen anything like it before.

That is one cool TARTAN!!! As usual when someone post pics of a tartan that I have considered in the past but didn't like the digital image . The actual fabric looks great and I add another Tartan to my wish list. Again GREAT LOOKING KILT!!! CR66
