Qu'un beau Kilt! Votre femme est une femme tres intelligente et douee. Le "double box pleat" est un chose tres dure, mais le resultats c'est fantastique!

Dans quelle partie de France est-ce que vous habitez?

Thank you for the kind words. We live in Haute Savoie, in the Alps !

Wow, very nice work! My next hiking kilt project will definitely be a "French box pleat"...it looks like an ideal application for lighter weight fabrics.

Thanks for inspiring yet another project.

Cheers,
TH

Indeed !

I'm really in love with these double box ! Mind you, I not very objective !
They have swish, they allow mouvement.

With 4 yards fabric, like any box pleat , they are light; but a double box will also have the amplitude of a knife pleat.
