I have a Buchanan modern kilt, with knife pleats, it was interesting to work out which way to pleat it, in the end i went for the sett, but to be honest I'm not sure that it is anymore demanding to work with than any other tartan, as long as you realise that it is assymetric.It does mean that the pleats might be different depths , but when I have some more time i might give it a play with some spare fabric I have left over!
