Congratulations on the new kilt, wear it well.

Could you post a better lit picture of the pleats themselves? I'm very interested in military box pleats. How about a review of the kilt?

Actually, it's knife pleated. The "military" adjective refers to pleating to stripe vs. sett. If you're interested in box pleats you need to check out Matt Newsome's stuff. Just do a search on "box pleat" or "Newsome", and you'll be well rewarded. The "Scottish Tartans Museum" banner logo takes you to his stuff, too.

Slainte!

Military box pleats are really knife pleats with the leading edge folded back. Matt makes traditional box-pleats, which are very different.

slohairt, nailed it below. And, as-a-matter-of-fact, Kathy Lare is the lady to talk to about "military box pleats" if that's something you desire.

A work of art indeed! Can one assume that it is the the McNaughton tartan?
