Need advice on double wide set

[flatsphere]

I find that when pleating to a very large Sett that it is sometimes helpful to "cheat" the Sett slightly which results in alternating pleat depths like you describe... A Kilt like in my example would look similar to some Military Kilts done in the Stewart Hunting Tartan. We Pleat it with alternating Red And Yellow Stripes and call it "The Catsup & Mustard Kilt".

Hi Steve,
I did this once with my father-in-law's kilt, using the muted version of this tartan. It looks good but wanted something more traditional.
On this tartan I tried to horizontal stripe, but it make my rear look too big.
Cheers!

It is very rare to find a Tartan that can be pleated using a Horizontal Stripe as the base.

What you end up with is the rear of the Kilt with only Horizontal elements.

We call this "The Dread Lawnchair Effect".
