It's a REAL good idea to sew the over and under of the pleats with the AmeriKilts. The material is thinner than some, so it tends to "wander" as it pleases. You may also need to sew the hips a few inches to "train" the pleats to go where you want them to. I did it on mine with ease, and good success.

Remember that AmeriKilts are pre-made. If you're looking for an alternative, the Freedom Kilts, Pittsburgh Kilts, and the Victory Kilts at USAKilts were designed to alleviate many of the inherant problems with the AKs. Pittsburgh Kilts even have a very similar sporran/pocket standard, and they're optional on the Victory. They're also custom-made to your specs on much sturdier material.
