    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.
