    Alex,

    Uh-huh... Riiiight... ;-) Within a week of you receiving #50, we'll get a message saying that you've fallen off the wagon and ordered #51... tee-hee.

    Anyway, looks great.

    C'mon guys. You're not helping him at all!!!!

    Take me as an example; I'm willing to take some of his kilts (to make room for new collection)!

    Very nice kilt! Can I ask; however, how deep are the pleats? I'm ordering an American district in the same style from Scotweb and was wondering. I purchased a 5 yard casual from a competitor and was disappointed with the product. I've got an 8 yard balmoral which is wonderful.Your pics have set me at ease. Thanks for sharing Alex!

    I am sorry I missed this thread until now, Alex. That's a great looking kilt in a beautiful tartan, and you have colour co-ordinated it so well. Congratulations!

    My step-family are Wilsons - maybe I should be looking closely at this tartan, although I am not ordering kilts at present (reduced Pension and all that!!)

    Take care,
    Ham.

    how deep are the pleats?
    There are 18 pleats, each 1.5 inches apart.
    The flat section on the inside of each pleat is 3.5 inches fabric, leaving an overlap or depth of 2 inches under each individual pleat, ie 5 inches of fabric in total is used for each pleat.
