    The tartan will be available in December 13oz (16oz will be available in Januari/Februari)

    I already (pre)ordered a 13oz 8 yards kilt and I hope it will be ready in time for the Burns Supper

    I've a question...what's nicest...to the sett or to the stripe :confused:

    This is how it will look to the stripe...
    (I printed the tartan and folded it)

    That's nice looking Robin. Will it be box or knife pleated? Oh, and I like to the stripe.

    What are the dimensions of the square fromed by the pink stripes? The reason I ask is that if the horizontal distance between them is less than 6 inches the pleats are likely to be relatively shallow (2 1/2" with a 1" reveal). I experience this with my Gordon Modern which is about 5 1/2 " between stripes. Still gives great swing, though, in part because it has about 35 pleats!

    Where 4 Scotsmen gather there'll usually be a fifth.

    Nice looking tartan, Robin.

    I know you are a man who like many knife pleats but what about....

    A box pleat kilt from MAtt that is pleated to the thin black stripe so the box pleat "hides" the thin pink stripe. I think it would look great to see hints of the pink stripe while walking or moving..."flashes" of color during movement :rolleyes:

    similar to KCW Xmarks box pleat kilt with the yellow stripe within the pleat.

    Cheers,
