    Re: Rate Your Kingussie

    I am the recent owner of a new 8yd pv. Before I critique it let me say that I do love it. The two main issues I have found compared to my eight yd wool knife pleat. First is due to the total yardage and the origin of the pleats being dead center rear there is a good amount of bulk right where I sit. There is a definite ridge of fabric between my thighs when seated. Next is due to the bidirectional pleats I really need to use both hands to sweep the pleats to get each side right. I can get away with just one if I catch the center pleat but one side will be less than perfect.
    Now that said I will be ordering another exactly the same (pleated to a different stripe) so it is something I can live with.
