    Kilt Radar lights up... incoming tank!

    I've been suffering quietly through the process as the cloth was ordered... then received... and then finally worked it's way through Stewart Rendall's queue... and now finally my number has come up.

    I got these pics today, to help with the choice between sett or stripe for this MacArthur Ancient strome:

    To stripe...



    and to sett...



    I chose to pleat to sett, but would love to know what the rabble thinks...

    Good choice! I'm a big fan of pleating to the sett. Now the jones is really going to hit you, thanks to these pictures.

    I'm a sett aficionado, too.

    The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

    I like stripe but it depends on the tartan. I this case I think you chose well.

    I am a huge fan of the Stripe, but it has to be the right stripe. I would have picked stripe on this one. However, it is not my kilt! It is yours and what you have picked will turn out beautifully!!!
