As does Robert McDonald of "West Coast Kilts. (Thanks for that info. Steve. I'm sorry that I will miss his expose at KiltKamp.) It is also possible that Burnett's & Struth offer it. But, most do not.

Our very own way2fractious has knocked out two military box pleat kilts and I believe is working on a third.(AlanH)
I know that now. Panache is quite right, there is so much talent on this board that it is difficult to follow it all. I had arrived at the pleat cutting stage when I semi-remembered something about it. So I went looking for it. He & I arrived at the same destination by following different paths.

I've seen the diagrams of what makes a Military box pleat, but what makes it so special? They seem like they would be a lot heavier. (Sean the Kilted)
That's really what is at the heart of the mystery! There are 2 extra layers, but only one layer is actually stitched, which means that the top should actually end up thinner!!

Can not wait to see it John, I must say that I was very impressed with the kilt you were wearing when we met at Fionn McCools. (McMurdo)
Thanks Glen. We forgot to take photos then, so here are front & back views.



I'll post the next section later tonight after I have sorted the photos.
