Okay I am getting close to pulling the trigger on my first tartan kilt. It will be a MacLeod of Harris pv 8yd. Sorry, no pics as I am on my droid and don't know how to post pics. A brief description of the tartan is a overall dark navy/green with two prominent alternating red and yellow stripes. Playing with a length of fabric I see many options of pleating.

No stripe for an overall dark look.
To the stripe with three variations.
To the yellow
To the red
To alternating red and yellow (probably my favorite)
No stripe has options as well
Pleat to "flash" either red or yellow
Pleat to "no color" by burying the stripe to preserve the dark tone
And last but not least the classic to the sett

What say the rabble?
