The yellow/white every 5th pleat also helps to balance it out. It'll do for down the pub.
I agree... it's probably completely random pleating (we'd have to order another to see for sure) but, I think it somewhat artistic nonetheless: kinda like a fractal or some such other 'natural' phenomena observed by chance. A nice looking kilt!
The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
