I really like this idea - and my major reason is that here in the U. S. we have left hand steering (the steering wheel in on the left side of the vehicle!)

With a traditional pleated kilt, every time you slide behind the wheel, the pleats are being stressed open, and require many and practiced contortions to smooth them out.

With a reverse pleated kilt, as you slide behind the wheel, you would be closing the pleats, and it would seem to me, that it would be easier getting in smoothly.

Now, granted, I don't have a reverse pleated kilt to prove my theory, but on the few occassions where I have been a passenger, and slid into the passenger seat, it seems easier.

From a kilt makers prospective, was it really harde reversing the pleats???

Isn't it a factor of sewing right or left handed???

Does anyone really know why the pleats on a traditional kilt are the way they are???
