Cheers,
I still have the removed sections of pleats (which were indeed cut out in the fell portion) that Matt took out; additional material was not available, and apparently, was not necessary. I have no doubt that Matt took great care and exercised much skill in preforming this procedure (twice on one kilt, and once on each side of another kilt).
I still stand by my assertion that your statement, "If the pleats were not cut out then you could remove one or more pleats each side of the apron edges that you just removed the apron edges from.You cannot simply eliminate a pleat on each if the pleats were cut out between the bottom of the fell and the top of the kilt though", was misleading, indicating to the less experienced that it was not possible.
