Military Box Pleat XMTS Tartan Kilt

[Riverkilt]

Welcome to the "fold."

Congrats on the military box pleat...from the pic now I think I "get it."

So, W2F left the white line on the selvedge of his own X Marks, Kathy Lare left it on mine, Steve Ashton left it on his....what did W2F do to your selvege to "disappear" the white line on the selvedge?

Jamie, That is a fantastic looking kilt, The workmanship on it is wonderful.
But it did appear that in one picture that you were assuming the position and looked like you had done it on more than one occasion
But all kidding aside you wear that well and it looks good on you.

[Arlen]

Now that is a fab kilt. As usual, you look really sharp.

W2F really does do a fantastic job.

Wow, great kilt ***, you lucky dog Panache!

[Monkey@Arms]

Looking good. W2F's attention to detail is a wonder. Are you going to wear it to the Burns Night?

Best regards,

Jakes

A superb kilt James - you look grand. Very much anticipating seeing it on you in person soon.

So, w2f traveled 70+ miles through one of the worst storms in recent California history to deliver it to you? Now that's dedication!

Jamie, I must protest. You are using the Mid-Atlantic kilt wearers pose without permission:



You Moderators think you can do just anything!

Seriously though, the kilt looks great.

[BEEDEE]

That is way beyond sharp. Looks fantastic.

way2fractious is an outstanding kiltmaker, always works for what appears to me to be freakin' perfection. If I'm a kilt craftsman, way2fractious is a kilt artist. Here's ANOTHER impressive creation from his hands.

It looks absolutely great and I have no doube that it looks even better in person! Wear with pride (as I'm sure you will), Panache!

...We're going to need a couple close-up shots of those pleats, though. Disturbed minds (mine included) will want to replicate this for themselves.

I will try to get a couple of closeups later today as well as an interesting addition to the inside of the pleats.

...Pleated to the light gray strip if I'm not mistaken. Could you add a close-up pic when you get a chance showing some of the MBP detail?

You are mistaken! It is to the yellow stripe (time for a new monitor and/or glasses turpin! )

...I have the X-marks tartan made in a box pleat by Matt Newsome. It has 10 pleats across the back. I'm guessing yours has more.

Is that the difference with a military box pleat?

A Military box pleat is, in a nutshell, a knife pleat that has been folded over again on itself. Very different from Matt's box pleats. Hopefully a picture or two will illustrate the difference.

....what did W2F do to your selvege to "disappear" the white line on the selvedge?

I'll leave that one to the kilt maker.

... Are you going to wear it to the Burns Night?

No question!

...You Moderators think you can do just anything!

Of course we can, that's why we are Mods!

Cheers
