Fraser Hunting to the sett or white stripe?

I'd like your opinions on the nicest look for this tartan. I tried this with the red stripe a few months ago but not the white.

To Sett

To White Stripe

I think it would look good.

Judging solely from the image, it looks like it would give a nice flash of blue as well, when the pleats are doing their swish thing.

I'm usually a "To the set" kinda guy.... But I must admit that the white strip is very nice!!

Stripe whenever possible. (but that's just my opinion)

The white stripe looks terrific.

If this were left up to me as a kiltmaker, I'd probably do it to the stripe.

Trick on how to see if it'll look good or not... Look at the tartan and squint your eyes. If a single stripe jumps out at you, you can pleat it to that stripe. If nothing really jumps out, pleat it to the sett.

That's a good tip. I've always wondered how you could determine which stripe would make a good pleating without seeing a kilt made that way.
