Interesting pleating on my first 5 yarder
Hey Y'all-
Our kilt maker just finished a personal kilt for me. It is a 16OZ 5 yard kilt in the Clan Brown tartan. This is not my favorite tartan (Even though I am a Brown), but as things work out in this biz, got a chance at the material, and I went ahead with it. I wanted it pleated at least to the blue stripe, but that just wasn't going to be possible (Thank GOD for TAoKM). Knowing my wanting something different and interesting, the pleating scheme was done differently. Almost making a new tartan (I just DID NOT want it to sett, however, the pleating scheme makes a whole different sett of which I love...Go figure). That being said, I really love my new kilt, and its perfect as a comfortable casual style kilt. Anyway, check out the pleating scheme. I'm sure the purist will BLEH, but I like it. Sorry about the pleating maybe looking sloppy, I had no one to take my pic, so I laid it on the table and the pleats din not all line up when i did. They are all really perfect though.
