    Tweed Pleating...

    Some tweeds have prominent stripes like tartans, some do not. For those that do not, I presume they are treated as self-color when used in a kilt, but for those others, are they pleated to the stripe or sett like a tartan?

    (I really can't seem to keep the different patterns and styles of tweeds straight, so I hope this vague post actually makes sense to somebody.)

    when I get home this evening I'll post a piccie of my tweed kilt. It is basically pleated to the "sett" such as there is one.

    Toad,
    here is a link to the positng about my new tweed kilt. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...43/index2.html

    Rocky described it as having a gold over check. In this pattern it was possible to pleat it "to the sett". I really like the looks and feel of the tweed kilt. I'd certainly recommend one to you if you are looking for something different. I believe that Matt Newsome also has a couple of tweeds that you could look at too. Hope this helps.
