Pictures of the pleat

[Gunnar]

Hi

I was wondering if you guys had any pictures of a kilt pleated to the stripe and a kilt pleated to the sett? I just want to see the difference

I think you can get them on forum using Search function. To be short:
- stripe; it's pleated to prominent vertical stripe
- sett; pleated the way that the Tartan sett (pattern) is preserved (kilt looks the same in front and back)

Gunnar,

Here is a webpage with a picture that shows a kilt in the Royal Stewart tartan pleated to stripe (middle) and another pleated to sett (right). The picture on the left is what the front of each kilt looks like.

Here is the link:

Here's a kilt pleated to the sett. As mentioned, looks the same front and back.





Tartan is Cameron Black and Red from the House of Edgar old and rare collection. Hand sewn by Kathy Lare.

Here's pleated to the stripe. Much different look between the basic tartan on the front and the pattern on the back.





Tartan is the Antarctic tartan from Dalgliesh for the United Kingdom Antarctic Trust. Hand Sewn by Kathy Lare.

Of course pleating to the stripe offers many options for "looks" on the backside depending upon how the kiltmaker chooses to pleat.

Here's a few different looks pleated to the stripe.



U.S. Navy tartan in USA Kilts semi-trad



Gunn Modern tartan in USA Kilts semi-trad



Gordon Modern tartan in USA Kilts Casual

You can see the tartan for the above three on the USA Kilts website if you're not familiar with them.

Hope that helps.

Interesting post, thanks for sorting that out!

I really like the maroon with the US Navy kilt -- very nice combination. It says "Fall" to me.

Every kilt has the ability to be pleated at least 3 ways, sometimes more. Here is a example of how one fabric can be pleated 3 different ways.
