Remember, though, that the "full repeat" on the Black Watch tartan, and tartans based on the Black Watch tartan, have a "full repeat" which is twice as big as the apparent repeat to a casual viewer.
In other words the apparent repeat would go from yellow line to yellow line, yet that is actually only half the full repeat, due to the distinctive Black Watch alternating "double track" motif: every other blue block has a double black line in its centre, every other blue block has a pair of double black lines at the outside borders.
So, if I'm taking Peter's comment literally, that Gordon kilt is 4.165 inches between yellow stripes, far smaller than 20th century Gordon military kilts, which I believe are at least 8 inches between yellow stripes for a full repeat of at least 16 inches.
