Here's a kilt pleated to the sett. As mentioned, looks the same front and back.





Tartan is Cameron Black and Red from the House of Edgar old and rare collection. Hand sewn by Kathy Lare.

Here's pleated to the stripe. Much different look between the basic tartan on the front and the pattern on the back.





Tartan is the Antarctic tartan from Dalgliesh for the United Kingdom Antarctic Trust. Hand Sewn by Kathy Lare.

Of course pleating to the stripe offers many options for "looks" on the backside depending upon how the kiltmaker chooses to pleat.

Here's a few different looks pleated to the stripe.

Hope that helps.
