I saw this kilt on Ebay just now.

Why on earth would anybody pleat a kilt like that? It's mostly pleated "to the block", to the large open red area, but for no apparent reason they decided to put in random stripes in two places. I say "no apparent reason" because it doesn't resemble a kilt pleated "to the sett" in the least. If it is an attempt to pleat to the sett it's one of the most pathetic attempts I've seen.

I've seen plenty of machine-sewn 4-yard or 5-yard "casual kilts" with quite shallow pleats which did a far better job of suggesting being pleated to the sett.

Far better in my opinion just to pleat to the block.
