Observations On Canadian Military (DND) Kilts...

[Clockwork John]

Nice picture. Great choice of shirt and tie to match the kilt. That outfit is smashing!

I have a Canadian military kilt (Black Watch) made circa 1960(from what I was told) in Glasgow. Here's what I can tell you about it:
- Like all military kilts, it has an obscenely high rise
- Regimental weight fabric really DOES feel like a blanket
- No fringed edges
- No fringe on the apron
- Mine is knife pleated. They are fairly deep and very close together... the reveal is about 1/2 inch. There are 30 pleats in my kilt, and it only has a 34 inch waist! Talk about getting your money's worth!
- The colors are very dark. I really can't tell what's blue and what's black without holding the fabric directly under a bright light.
