    Box pleat calculator

    While I was making my "30 yarder kilt" last summer, I was really short on tartan. So I needed some help on finding best possible solution to use what I had. The result was EXCEL spreadsheet (actually 2; one in metric and second in imperial units). Based on set dimensions, you can get a hint which pleating is optimal (from material use point of view, not aesthetic) and you can find out how much tartan you need.

    See links:

    It could be useful for someone, so be my guest.

    Regards!
