Dress Regulations for the Royal Regiment of Scotland

[OC Richard]

Didn't they switch over to knife pleats?

It wouldn't surprise me, due to them being less expensive to make and easier to maintain, but I haven't seen anything about it. AFAIK the RRS wears the old Senior Sergeants/Officers kilts of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, except with the Black Watch ribbons replacing the A&SH panel.

That's the generic RRS kilt. The various Pipes & Drums still maintain (last I heard) Antecedent Dress which follows the various old uniform customs, and the Royal Stewart kilts would be knife pleated of course.

And I'm guessing that the Black Watch kilts worn by the Drum Major and drummers of 3SCOTS in Antecedent Dress would be knife pleated.

Of course the Erracht Cameron kilts of the Pipes & Drums of 4SCOTS would be boxpleated as always.

I think the dress of the Pipes & Drums of 7SCOTS points the way to a potential (perhaps inevitable) generic RRS-wide pipers' kit.
