    That could happen if the kilt and linings were not lying true during the sewing together.

    It is not a huge and glaring error, but I am surprised that it was considered adequate.

    I am an utter perfectionist - I once took apart an entire garment for three misplaced stitches, but I would go back to the maker and see if there is someone more senior than the person suggesting that you try to press out the problem, or get more informed advice on just what and how you have got pleats on the skew.

    Ah, I think I see what you mean now.
    The center line — the central pleat — appears to be skewing to the left.

    I’ve taken another photo with a folding ruler for reference. I assume you're referring to how the vertical stripes are drifting left?
    It looks like the center pleat is already leaning before it even reaches the fell line.

    If that’s the case — would fixing it require taking the entire kilt apart?

    Taking it back is not just heading down the street, it's a 2 hour flight

    The person I've been emailing with is the manager of that branch.. As far as I understand it, they don't make the kilts on-site. But I would assume he knows what he is talking about.

    Thank you again for your feedback!
