    That's disappointing, that they've switched from the pleats they've used for, what, over 200 years?

    I wonder if the 4SCOTS Pipes & Drums are using a mix of pleating styles, or if the entire unit is using knife pleats.

    I was surprised that the RRS went with box pleats. Surely it would have saved much money to have gone with knife pleats, for such a quantity of kilts.

    Aye

    Aye, it is. Don't think she is well known outside of the UK so I didn't bother naming here in the post.

    Lorraine

    Yeah she does, the kilt should be a bit lower and her hair is creeping out from under her headdress but all in all not a bad effort.
