This a 12 inch sett and assuming "standard" sett is 7 inch how would or would there be a difference in the depth of the pleats.
As has been said you did and excellent job.

Ordinarily, it would mean that you would get fewer, and deeper pleats. That is, if I pleated it the usual way. What I did with this kilt, however, was to pleat to the broad black stripe, which occurs twice per sett repeat. Therefore even though the sett was 12" I was able to pleat it as if it were a 6" sett, meaning I was able to put in twice as many pleats as I would have otherwise with the same amount of cloth.

Very nice, Matt! I have always admired the kilts of several Macphersons I know that have an enlarged sett in the Macpherson 'hunting' and Chattan 'modern' tartan. I love the look of an enlarged sett, but I am not so sure it would be aesthetically pleasing for certain tartans.
