    Semi Trad Pleating

    Could someone please post a pic here of the pleats of a Semi Trad? I've only seen pics of it when the ''model'' has is foot up on something. So I'm looking for a picture of the pleats of a Semi Trad and the ''model'' is just standing normally. I just want to see of the pleats hang.

    Hope these help Gunnar,

    Macdonald (sorry, know its small and dark but only standing pleat shot I had)


    MacLean Hunting


    MacLeod of Lewis


    Navy


    Thompson Gray

    Know some of these pics are taken in the wind, but that's one of the beauties of the USA Kilts semi-trad pleats, they do dance in the wind, yet are heavy and full enough not to be a problem.

    Okay, just found out there's a ten image limit to posting so here's a pic of the non-tartan saffron semi-traditional pleats.

    Noticed some of the pics above challenged the pixels of the little camera and that one, the Navy was taken after wearing the kilt all day seated at a conference.

    Nice photos Ron, I knew you'd have a bunch, that Gunn Modern is making me wish mine had not shrunk in the closet.

    That's a lot of kilts... and I know that's not the entirety of your collection.

    Ron is not even trying to compete with Hamish the Kilt Kollection Master.
