    Should I pleat to the sett, or to the stripe?

    In a few days I will be ordering a pair of kilts. One of them will be in Buchanan Hunting, in Ancient colors, in a 15oz D.C. Dalgliesh weave. All my other tartan kilts are pleated to the sett, and I'm considering having this one done to the stripe, for something different. However, I'm wondering if it would look either too washed out, or too "muddy", depending on which stripe(s) were considered. (Note: I'd be perfectly happy to have this pleated to the sett, like my other kilts, if everyone thinks that this particular fabric may be a less than ideal candidate for pleating to the stripe.) I expect to place the order as early as this coming Friday (Feb 15).

    Thoughts?

    [EDIT: I mentioned that my others were pleated to the sett... that's not entirely true in the strictest sense. My Aberdeen District, is pleated not quite to the sett, given the enormous sett size (though it does have a pattern to the way it was pleated).]
