It's made a very light PV [1] with a hem; a modest number of pleats; and a velcro closure. Generally it's the first thing I put on in the morning: just right for fetching the paper, relaxing with the first cup of coffee, and dealing with the daily chores. SK has one of the few washable, knock-around kilts in MacGregor tartan, and pretty nice looking fabric too.
ardchoille, I'd like to see the new one, too. Here is my pleat view
It is built as a cylinder---this one has the optional top-stitched fell---and the pleats are gathered at the waist with elastic.
It's great for yard work; in fact, as the name implies, they were developed for athletes. Mine has no reverse pleat, but the grand-daddy of all deep pleats. Gonzo casual:
[1] The Web site used to say "poly-blend" and we speculated a great deal about the composition. Feels like a nice, soft cotton-polyester. Since last year, it says "poly-viscose." I have a newer one which feels similar to the old (2007 vintage). It feels slightly lighter than the Marton Mills PV, and heavier than some of the inexpensive ones I have seen.
