    Yes, as long as it is worsted wool. The type of pleating is a personal choice. A knife pleated 8-yard kilt is typically worn for formal events. A 4-yard box pleated kilt is quickly gaining in popularity due to its lighter overall weight and more even balance.

    If you wish to have this fabric made into knife pleated kilts you have just enough fabric for the kilts. There will not be enough left over for the extra sashes you mentioned.

    That strongly points you towards Box Pleats or a reduced fabric kilt.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
