New Double Box Pleat Kilt

**Ancienne Alliance** · 19th March 08, 05:56 AM

We just got several yards of 16 oz. worsted wool with kilting selvedge in Robertson red modern.
...to be transformed into a double box pleated kilt by Lady Chrystel (Chef pleasantly calls her work "French Box Pleated Kilt" !) We should have results and photos ...in a few weeks time.
We really enjoy the green, the navy blue ! What seemed to be just a simple but elegant black and red from a distance turns out to be an intricate Tartan of red, green and navy blue.
Admire...

The pleats will be narrower and in greater number than the previous MacKinnon double box pleat kilt.

All the best,
Robert
... and Lady Chrystel

You're absolutely right: the Robertson tartan IS a beautiful one. I'm looking forward to seeing this one take life.

Ah! you home kiltmakers are the envy of many...myself included. I am still trying to figure out how to replace a button on my shirt. Beautiful piece of material. Looking forward to the finished pictures.

I too am looking forward to this tartan coming to life as a kilt, and the double box or French box pleating if you prefer, looks wonderful, I am sure this will be another beautiful kilt once the lovely and talented Lady Chrystel is done with transforming it.
