Great work on the kilt, can't wait to see it!

I think Dalgliesh did the best they could with the sett. The narrow yellow stripe is the smallest element in the tartan, and it's 4 threads. The only choice they would have had would have been to make that element 2 threads (can't have an odd number of threads in a stripe), and that would have made the sett only about 3 1/2". So.....just a challenging one to pleat.

I just have to put on the lining, and I can send it out! Should go out some time tomorrow.
