I was sifting through some pics from our solids photo shoot and these two do a great job of showing just how well you can get a "real" swish with a contemporary kilt. The khaki kilt is made with "rugged" pleats and the brown one with "refined" pleats and took 7 1/2 and 9 1/2 yards of ploy/cotton respectively.

These were taken as we walked leisurely away from the camera and while we certainly have swagger there was no forced gait to produce swish, just regular old fashioned "Dang we look good" striding.
