box-pleat kilt video

First time trying to post a video here, let's see if this works...

This video my brother made leaves a LOT to be desired in quality, but it does show how nicely Matt Newsome's box-pleat kilt move.

That video does a good job of showing the swing of those box pleats. What you had to say kind of quacked me up tho.

Wow!

Retro: Sharp looking kilt and a good video. I'm about five weeks out on a charcoal tweed box pleat four yarder from Matt Newsome---so now those five weeks (or so) are going to crawl by!

. It does indeed move nicely. How does it behave on a windy day?

I've only had this kilt about 2 months & haven't worn it in real strong gusts yet (maybe up to 20mph), but it has behaved perfectly, no "parachuting" tendencies exhibited at all. Being a 16-oz cloth helps, no doubt.

Very nice kilt - nice movement. I've been wondering about that in those box-pleated numbers. I'm hoping I'll run across one or two at the upcoming Hartwell and Stone Mountain games. STM is only a 3-hr. drive from me.

Finally got it to work. Not so bad, at least you had someone who could keep you in frame. O'Neille
