Man, you didn't mess around with the pleats. When I do a contemporary I usually max out at about 18 pleats. Good job. Just a thought, you might think about sewing down the edges of the pleats, all the way from fell to hem. Of course you don't sew them closed, like you do at the fell, you just sew them so that the pleat edge is always defined and "relatively crisp"....sort of. It's a thought for some future kilts, maybe.

If you sew up a wool kilt, you don't need to do this, as wool will take a hard-pressed pleat and keep it without stitching. cotton/polyester....not so much.
