More Pleats or Deeper?

[Whidbey78]

I have to vote for option one...but it's only because of the way the collors play out in your pics. Ultimately though I go with the one that produces the better hanging and swinging pleat.

Honestly, it's not going to make a whit of difference. The difference between 2 1/2" and 2 1/4" pleats is trivial. Pick the one you like the look of best.

If you want a kilt that really swings, though, more yardage would really make the difference (i.e., an 8 yard kilt, instead of a 6 yard kilt).

Ah heck, my bad, the sett pleats would be over 3" deep.

Oh I do and that's what the other bolt is for.

Well X,

If you like the looks of both of them relative to their resulting color schemes, and Barb says it doesn't make a difference in the way the kilt moves, I would go with the option that results in the most pleats.

There's two cents worth for you!

Xman, I originally deleted this thread and got some complaints from some of the other posters who's responses were well thought out, and upset to find their posts gone.

I'm only going to close this thread for now.
