Looks sharp. My brother wants an inexpensive kilt to try out and I have been looking at the nightstalker for him. When you shorten it though (hem?) how do u shorten the pleats? Or do you?

According to the little piece of paper that came with the kilt, the length can be "easily" adjusted with a machine-sewn blind hem stitch. Luckily, I have a sister who has some wonderful seamstress skills. She's said she's going to cut some off and then hem it. I trust her. I'm not nervous at all. Really. No, really. I'm not.

Not sure I'd machine hem it but you would definitely need to cut some off. There is way too much extra material to all be turned up into hem. Relax, sounds as if your sister knows just what she is doing. And enjoy the finished product, it's a lovely one!
