Additional Options
-
Double Buckles: (+£15.00) If you find your weight fluctuates a little bit or you are planning on gaining or losing weight in the future, double buckles are a great way of making the kilt more accommodating.
-
Pleating Options – We offer a variety of pleating options to tailor the look of the kilt just the way you want it.
-
Pleat to Sett: (£0.00 Included in the price) Pleating to the sett is the most common type of pleating which results in the kilt looking the same at the front and the back. A full sett of the tartan is folded into each pleat so that the tartan pattern appears to be continuous across all the pleats
-
Pleat to Stripe: (+£30.00) Pleating to the stripe, more commonly referred to as as military pleating as it is regularly used by military bands. This is where a vertical stripe in the tartan is selected and placed in the middle of each pleat. The result is that horizontal or vertical bands are shown at the sides and rear of the kilt which look different to the tartan at the front. When you select this type of pleating, you will need to select the specific stripe to pleat to.
-
Box Pleat: (+£90.00) Box pleating is a far rarer type of pleating, sometimes used by the military regiments. Box pleats are a double pleat having two upper folds facing in opposite directions and two under folds pressed toward each other. There are a number of methods that can be used to make a box pleated kilt, the most common is a knife pleat, folded back on itself (as shown in the image below). Generally box pleated kilts are pleated to the stripe.
