I read the product information and it states, "deep pleats". I assume they are knife pleated but did not fid a photo. I would like a solid color if I knew it was a knife instead of a box pleated kilt.
I would have to get used to the lower waist placement of these kilts though. I fear my growing paunch would be enhanced.
Doesn't appear to be an off the rack item and asks for waist, hips and height so fit should be fairly normal.
I ordered a solid green casual kilt from Scotweb a few months ago. I was pretty happy with the fit, color, construction and swing of the kilt. It does not have as many pleats as I would like but overall for about $200 US, I was pleased. I'll try and post pictures later today of the kilt.
Life without whisky is like a broken pencil...pointless.

Based on my admittedly small sample size, a collection of a couple hundred vintage photos, selfcoloured kilts were more popular in "the old days" than they are nowadays.

I have 3 solid black kilts with silver buckles, these were made by MERCY in London for PUNK wear back in the day, I guess now it would be called GOTH. The quality is fair, these are absolutely normal kilts except for the color of the fabric. The material is like cotton but may be viscose whatever that is.
I also have a kilt with a "Shadow Tartan" as well, it is plaid but the light has to hit the material just right to see the pattern otherwise it is black.
I have one of these five yard Scotweb kilts in Saffron and am very happy with it but got it in the clearance section for about £100 (it is a little bid in the seat but perfect otherwise). I was wary of going out in it but actually get the same reaction as a tartan kilt.
I like the Saffron, Green, and Blue (never seen Hidden Grey in person), as they are all "traditional" colors.
I think it is interesting to pass this info along - I've piped in two bands. One was Grade 1 at one point, and has always worn an Irish County tartan. The other was named The Saffron Kilts, and changed from Saffron to an Irish tartan in part because they felt there was judging bias against them for wearing solid color kilts.
