Gents:

I am in serious jonesing mode now. I am in receipt of a FedEx tracking number for my charcoal tweed four yard box pleated kilt from Matt Newsome, and I have the jonesy-jones real bad.

So I've been thinking about box pleated kilts more. As we know, a box pleated kilt uses less material than a knife pleated kilt (generally speaking). Less material (and better "balance" front to rear") seems to imply to me that you could use heavier material, and STILL have a lighter kilt.

So, here's the question. The tweed kilt Matt made for me is, I believe, sixteen ounce, but has anyone made a box pleated kilt out of "regimental-weight" wool? I.e., 20 or 22 ounce wool? It would seem that it would work, but then a lot of things that seem so to me "ain't necessarily so."

Comments?
