Can't have a red stripe "every other sett". A sett is one full repeat of the tartan pattern, so, if there's only one red stripe, it actually defines the full sett (from one red stripe to the next). The MacKenzie simply has two white stripes per sett.

Also - "Strome" is the trade name for Lochcarron's 16 oz tartan. So, either you have 18 oz tartan that isn't Strome or you have Strome that's 16 oz.

Regimental (18 oz) tartan is kind of "blankety" and feels quite a bit different from most kilting fabric. If yours is blankety, then it's probably regimental weight.
