I can't remember if it was in The AoK or if Barb mentioned it on a thread here. But anytime you are making a kilt for a "man of substance", you don't really need to go with 1/2" reveals. I think she recomends no more than 30 pleats. So you might have to go as wide as 1". I'd be interested in reading what the layout is. At least it is pleated to the stripe and not the sett.
