ATTN 📽 I have revised this video, please click the card at the beginning to see the new version, with annotations and music to cover the distractions at the end. If the new version does well enough I will take down this version of the video.
The only video that show's two different kinds of pleats and why you always put the belt down first. The material is 60" wide to wrap a 5 yard kilt. For those of you using metrics, an English Yard is about the same as a Meter. Some people say I need a full 9 yards, but I have never seen a video of a 9 yard tartan. Like I say in this video 5 yards is bulky enough, I was tempted to cut it down to 3 yards. I guess they use deeper pleats for more than 5 yards. Use what ever size you want... and if you do find a 9 yard hand pleated kilt video let me know.

I will show you how to pleat to the sett than pleat to the stripe/column. First I will show how to pleat to the sett. Jump to 3:55 for Military style pleats (stripe/column), to 8:30 on how to lie down and put it on. If wearing a modern kilt with a fly plaid skip to 10:00 to see why it is usually on the left shoulder (reverse if you are left handed). There is no evidence of the belted plaid existing before the late 16th Century. Speaking of which ✳ always put your belt down first ✳ before the plaid. A couple of times I forgot to put the belt down first and it was really difficult to slide it under once pleated. Do wear under-dungers with your kilt, especially if it is wool, otherwise you will itch.

I made this video during Spring Break and apologize for the distractions at the end. If you are watching from a mobile device, the annotations might not appear. I suggest you watch it from a full computer or laptop. Maybe by now they have done away with annotations completely since most views are from mobile devices. There are annotations on my new version if you click the card at the beginning.
