    This is a very tempting item. I have opened discussions with my Financial Advisor as to the possibilities of a purchase. But I have a couple of ignorant questions.

    What is the difference between a box pleat and whatever kind I would have on one of my dress kilts?

    And what would be the length of one of these kilts from Argyll? How would I know if it would be long enough (or too long)?

    Thanks for your help!

    It's as awesome as any other pleated-to-stripe kilt you may have or acquire - only more so!

    That's the trouble with army kilts. The guys they make them for have the same figure I had when I was 20. Not much use to me now though.

    Yeah, back when I was actually IN the military I would have fit them but now I would almost have to stitch two of them together.
