    I'd go with the red stripe, personally.

    Should be a beauty!

    I like the red stripe option, but I also like the contrast in the green block. Both look sharp.

    I would prefer the red stripe, but if you want to go to the block, I think the green block looks much better.

    I wanted it pleated to stripe but the fact that a half green and a half blue square comes together seems a bit special to me...but special isn't bad, is it.
    The striped version shows also in the back how colourful the tartan is...

    I really like the green block first then the red stripe option.

    My choice would be the red stripe as well.

    I'm with you on the Red stripe as a first choice. Even though I prefer "to the sett", the red will make the pleat bright with a muted flash.

    That's a lovely tartan. Both my kilts are pleated to the sett, if that's not what you want then the red stripe is my preference.
