Customer Comments
 My sporran and Ghillie Brogues arrived in three days! Amazing, when it takes up to seven days to mail a letter to some locations within the states! Both exhibit fine quality and appearance. My thanks to all of you for such fine products, at a thrifty price, and so quickly. Best regards,

Wrapping and Wearing the Great Kilt

Pleating with Lots of Floor Space

You will need enough space to spread the plaid in front of you. Do not worry too much about laying out the entire length (you can deal with that as you pleat), but do spread the full width. The fabric is pleated along its length.
Measure with your hands from hip bone to hip bone and transfer this measurement to the plaid. This is one of the two aprons and will not be pleated.
Starting from the end of the apron, pull the material towards you at the centre and adjust, at each end, the pleat you have formed.

The depth of this pleat is up to you. The wider you make the pleat, the less work you have to do at this stage. You could aim to form the pleat where each sett repeats itself.

Continue until you have pleated most of the material - leaving, unpleated, sufficient material to form the second apron.

 
 In the next page we will show you how to set the belt under the plaid and belt up
