To the Stripe or the Sett, that is the Question?

I'm a "pleat to sett" man. I like to see the same pattern all around. I don't appreciate the back looking so different from the front. I appreciate you liking the "pleat to stripe" though, as it can be a very smart look; just not for me.

I pleat all my Camo Kilts "To the leaf".

No disrespect to the original topic of this thread with me minor derailment here... but honestly, who could argue with me that this comment DEMANDS a picture!

(you will have sold a "To the leaf" Cilt to an avid Woodsballer with a picture!!)

I agree with McMurdo. IMHO, tartans such as the "Gordon & Mackenzie ( Militatary) are GREAT plleated to the Stripe, others ???

I just bought a USAK American Heritage pleated to the sett.

I absolutely love it! I acctually prefer a kilt pleated to the stripe, in most cases.

I'm currently pleating my first Tartan kilt to the horizontal stripe. The tartan is Black Stewart, and, after looking past the little imperfections with my bad pleating, it looks really great.

The Gordon Highlander from WPG is like that

As is the Royal Naval Tartan as far as I'm concerned.

Can you pleat an FK like one of those sighns that changes depending on from which angle you are looking?

I say Freedom Kilt because I figure only the Wizard would know how to do it if it can be done...

I have a tank made by Barb T that is pleated to the sett. I might get my next tank done to the stripe, I'm not sure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

If any of you have photos of kilts in the same tartan that one is pleated to the sett and one to the stripe, you should post them, that would be a cool comparison tool.
