Leather Plethora of pleats

I’ve had the pleasure over the last few days to be working on a couple of Mach V LE’s. This leather is wonderful to work with and allows me to build a leather kilt with lots of pleats

This kilt is still in the midst of construction but it contains 26 one inch pleats that taper to 3/4″ which translates to 8yds of supple leather. The pleats are very deep making for an excellent swish factor.

The other night I wore my own Mach V LE to a party, I sat down next to a woman. Her hands were immediately on my kilt as she was asking “Is this leather” Her husband was sitting across from me and his jaw dropped. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders and suggested he might want to look into getting a kilt.
I pretty much always wear a leather kilt. it regularly elicits positive comments. Something to consider if you’re on the fence about acquiring a kilt be it tartan, hemp or leather.
Soon I will have pictures of the two leather Mach V LE’s before shipping. They’re still not on the website but if you email me I will be happy to give you the price and data on these special kilts.
