SWK Thrifty: My review.

[Kid Cossack]

Hey, good call! As a matter of fact, that's just about what I did today---I took down a SWK economy USMC kilt, added a deep final pleat, and turned it into a box pleated version----with only five, six inch boxes! (Yes, it's a monster) Oh my goodness its actually almost presentable!

Now that is a project! I am considering a standard leatherneck SWK as a "stunt double" my heavyweight box pleater - of course those are the military box pleats, not the kind you have done.

I really like that tartan and fully support my brain damaged son (who carries a squirrel rifle to battle when they have Nimitz class carriers available? ) . But being an old squid find myself removing the EGA tag. If any symbol deserves respect that is one of them. Just can't wear the emblem not having earned it.

I am very interested to see what becomes of your thrifty Irish National Charles. I am wearing my economy Irish National @ work right now. I am considering less radical surgery - namely counting the pleats and figuring the taper ala Barb's book and having a go at hand stitching them down.

Best of luck with your reconstruction.
