OUT OF PM's AND ONTO THE SITE... let's get out of the "you look cool" mode and get to some serious kilt talk. Quality, tartans, etc.

Todays lesson, kids, is on "Wandering Pleats". Due to the emails asking what that is, here's a drawing to explain it...



Notice that the thing on the left is showing pleats that go in and out. That's a sign that pleats are not being sewn evenly, either in line or tension. When you're browsing for a kilt, make sure that the company posts pleat pictures on a human model.

On the right, is a great look at a well-made kilt. The hand-sewn traditional that I have is just like this. Check most pipe bands with the heavy Scottish hand-sewns, and you'll notice the difference.

This would be a GREAT place to post examples or questions on the pleats. Questions on YOUR kilt? Post it here so everyone can discuss it.
