Here is a MacPherson pleated to the blue, black, blue, black, blue stripe. The red in the MacPherson is totaly missing in the pleats until it is revealed by movement.

I'm not a big fan of predominantly red kilts, but that MacPherson pleated to the stripe as you have shown it here is really striking.

Here is my tartan to the stripe (Sligo). I love it.

A skinny guy can probably get away with anything; a medium sized guy (say, turpin) slightly less; and a heroically figured kiltie wants to avoid horizontal stripes if possible.

This rule applies for all garments in general and not only for kilts pleated to no stripe. You should check how the pleating looks (like Barb is suggesting) but you have to have in mind how the kilt wearer looks like, too. My 1/4 cent.

I think that is the most diplomatically said way of describing those of us of larger than average proportions---"heroically figured". Mind if I use that?

I bet that looks stunning in motion!

The politically correct term is "gravitationally enhanced"!
