Although I was somewhat familiar with varying sett sizes, it never occurred to me that it could be something I could specify when ordering a kilt from someone using "existing" material. I favor what seems to be the norm when it comes to using smaller setts for tartan accessories (ties, caps, etc.) and I think I would like a waistcoat in a smaller sett complimenting a larger sett kilt. I do like the idea of having an option as there are other factors to consider like the individual's body type and size, as well as overall general scale of and colors in the tartan. A small or "average" size man might benefit more from a standard or smaller sett, thinking that a particularly large sett would overwhelm the mans frame. Whereas a small sett on a very large man might look fussy or busy, and a larger sett would be more to scale with his body type. It kind of goes back to the standard gentlemen's haberdashery guidelines - choosing clothing that suits your frame. A short or stout man does not benefit from a double breasted jacket with a high button stance, but on a tall and/or thin man, this jacket style looks good. A more accurate analogy, since we are discussing pattern (tartan) would be high contrast color and/or horizontal lines - not great for shorter/smaller men, but can work very well for the tall guy. Typically, tonal color palette, solids, or vertical lines work best for the small frame. Selecting your sett size would certainly bring new meaning to the bespoke kilt. Thanks Matt for bringing this to mind!
