Looks great, bricekolob! It has the look of an 8-yard wool kilt, and I suspect that nobody will even know it's PV except you, unless you tell them or they do a close detailed inspection.

I do have a question on the pleats. The only PV kilt I have is a USAK Casual kilt, and it has the "permapleats" that are stitched down along their length, all the way to the bottom so they will retain the sharp pleat line without ever needing pressing. Are your pleats done that way too? And on that subject (if anybody else wants to chime in), will PV hold a crisp fold over time without being stitched down? Or is it pretty much par for the course with PV that the pleats will either be stitched down or require regular pressing?

Anyway, your new kilt looks very nice and you wear it well! I've got an 8-yard wool kilt on the way, but I may be in the market for another PV kilt in the near future since I've lost some weight and my original PV kilt is getting too big. I had pretty much resigned myself to a PV kilt being only 4 yards, but I may have to rethink that after seeing yours!
