Pleated to the stripe

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Mike,

Though technically you should be able to pleat your kilt to any stripe you desire, it is usually much easier, and looks better, to use one of the pivot points. In your case, this could either be the red line, or the double white lines.

Mind you, I'm used to dealing with box-pleated kilts, where the pleats are much wider -- two inches, say, compared with maybe half an inch in the standard knife pleated kilts. The size of the pleat can also affect what looks good.

You can always just fold up a chunk of the tartan to whatever stripe you have in mind and get a "preview" of how it will look.

Aye,
Matt

Cheers Matt, and thank you.
