These photos show samples of each style of kilt that I make:

8 yard Knife Pleated kilt:   Traditional high-yardage kilt with excellent swing of pleats. Classic style. Usually about 23-30 pleats.
                                           Pleated to the sett (red kilt)                  Pleated to the stripe (blue kilt)

5-6 yard Knife Pleated kilt:   Very similar to the 8 yard kilt, but lighter to wear. Pleats are wider and somewhat fewer.
                                          Can be used for both casual and formal occasions.

4 yard Box Pleated kilt:  This historic kilt style appeared before the knife pleated kilt. Light to wear, even though heavy weight tartan
                                       often is used. Pleats are about 2.5" - 3" wide. Usually pleated to the stripe or to alternating stripes.

Military Box Pleated kilt:  Pleats appear to be narrow knife pleats, but are actually folded back upon themselves. This style is unusual
                                         and the making is rather complex.

Great Kilt:    Historically it was a large piece of woolen cloth that a man wrapped and folded around himself by day and could use as
                    a blanket at night. For ease of wearing, I stitch the pleats at the waist and attach belt loops and ties.

Highland Dancer kilt:    These kilts are made for maximum swing of the pleats and mostly use Dress tartans which include white with the
                                    colors. I make them with a hem and will make the rise as you specify.

Aboyne Skirts
:  I make Aboyne/Arisaid skirts and matching plaids for dancers, too.

Ladies kilt-skirt:   I make these with more yardage and with much deeper pleats than commercially made machine sewn kilted skirts.
                            That makes for a much nicer swing and flow of the pleats. Usually unlined, but can be lined if desired.

Youth Proper Kilt: This kilt is tailored and constructed the same as for a man's proper kilt. A hem and extra pleat allow room for growth.
                           Pleated to the sett or stripe.
