    Has anyone else noticed that the red PVC kilt has pleats that are "angled" instead of hanging straight down? Issues of photo mirror image aside, they seem to be hanging to "5:30" instead of straight down to "6:00".

    Not just the hanging of the pleats but the sewing of the fell appears to be on the skewiff.

    If it is PVC though it is a bit of a whatsit to shape and I found that the only way to do any curved seam shaping was to cut away all but a tiny allowance and then sew one side onto a bias cut tape with the allowance flat, then fold the other allowance under and sew that on top of the first side, then glue the tape to the back of the PVC.

    Not too bad if there are six seams, but for a whole kilt of pleats it would take a long time and could go wrong.
