Thoughts on making a Box Pleat Kilt

[SoulFyre777]

jsut to share with y'all, a photo of the 4 meter box pleat, in Macnaughton Weathered (pleated to-the-sett), that I finished a couple of weeks ago; as you'll see, it has 10 pleats. Not as warm as the 8 yard Maple Leaf "tank", that I made before that ( with help from the forum folk), but I've had numerous complements, when i wear it) :

Me LIKEY!! Who's your tartan supplier, jhockin?

got it on sale, from Fraser & Kirkbright ( all gone now, as I bought the last 8 meters of double wide). I made the box pleat with half of one 4 meter piece, and a 'day plaid' and a scarf, with the other 4 meter piece; still have half of the first 4 meter piece, with which I plan to make a second box pleat.
As an aside, in another thread ( or 2), discusing using day plaids: I wore the day plaid, yesterday ( with my 8 yd Maple Leaf, hand sewn 'traditional' 'tank'), while out walking the dog. It was a cool day, with occassional drizzle, and even with the Plaid mostly folded, and wrapped around my torso, I was nice and warm. I find it very practical and comfortable.
