Re: Irish Kilts: solid vs. tartan

Maybe some sort of variation in either the apron shape, the pleating arrangement, or both. A traditional Scottish tank is knife pleated, so perhaps Irish kilts should use a more historical style like box pleats or Kingussie.
Yes.
Or perhaps a saffron kilt with solid green and blue pleats also included.
I have wanted to start a thread about multiple solid color pleats, but I don't know how to ask it, much less explain it.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
