Wow, what a kilt!
It looks modern, but yet oddly traditional in some sense... perhaps a 3x wider double box pleats?!

WOW! That is very nice, the tartan sets off the design perfectly. Very sleek and modern. The style of pleats work awesome together
ps, I would imagine Bruce Wayne would wear a kilt like this.....  |

| | This kilt certainly looks impressive.
As soon as I ask myself "Would I wear that?" I find my attention is drawn to the pleating. With pleats so broad, would it not tend to show wrinkles from being sat on?
I will be most interested to read a review of this kilt.

And according to many experienced box pleat kilt wearers, the wider the pleats are the less they wrinkle.
Then again it depends how you sit, where you sit, for how long you sit.
I'm as curious as you are, mind you and the eating is in the pudding; so the kilt will be delivered saturday evening. I will ask the gentleman to write something; I hope he does it. Then again, as he is a friend, and HE chose the pleating, I doubt his objectivity. 
Best,
Robert
