Pleating to the stripe but which stripe

[Karl R]

My question is, if I get it pleated to the stripe, which stripe?

In the USA Kilts videos, their recommendation was to squint your eyes to where the entire tartan becomes blurry. Pick out the strip that stands out the most.

For example, on one of my dark kilts, it's pleated to the white stripe. When I get a Renwick Ancient tartan kilt, I will get it pleated to the red stripe. If nothing stands out, you might want to pleat it to the sett instead (as my other kilts are).
