Can a Kilt Be Re-sized?

[Monkey@Arms]

I had a kilt a long time ago that I had to resize. It had 15 knife pleats in it, and they were each two inch deep pleats. All I did was take a seam ripper and remove one of the pleats to give one of the aprons some extra length.

Ayin, Was it a pleat adjacent to the apron that you performed that "operation" on, or something like a Stillwater?

I'd be worried that a back pleat on the OP's kilt might have had the excess material cut out above the fell (assuming it's a properly constructed full weight wool kilt), in which case opening such a pleat might be a problem, no?

Best regards,

Jake
