Sportkilt TWICE THE PLEATS

[KiltRevival]

Hi,

Sportkilt now offers twice the pleats of the standards larger pleating to give your kilt a more authentic look. Has anyone purchase one with twice the pleats? How do they hold up?

Caution: Note the fine print says twice the pleats at half the depth. That would be one inch wide pleats one inch deep. I was not interested in that so I asked at the SportKilt booth at Pleasanton if they would make a kilt with twice the pleats but with deeper pleats. Once they understood what I was getting on about they said yes but it would cost more for material. I haven't ordered one yet but I am still considering it. For my hip size it would essentially be an eight yard kilt from eight ounce material.

Thank you McElmurry,

I noticed that the depth of the pleats are shallow. I will be using this kilt for hiking and its a feature I was thinking about trialling. I want the kilt look, without the unnecessary weight. I figure, that to the untrained eye, even though the pleats may be shallower it will look more like an authentic kilt because there are more pleats.

Photos of these examples whenever one can post them would be valuable.....

Or it might look like a 'skirt' instead of a 'kilt' because the pleat won't have the depth.
