With such a large sett it would be a kilt makers first impulse to find some way to create two pleats from each sett by placing the pleats so as to give the illusion of either the sett or the selected stripe being as seen in the full set.

Where this is impossible but desirable then you can end up with compromises such as alternating red and yellow stripes or a stripe on alternate pleats only, but the background matching.

With the full sett of Black watch pleats can have alternating single and double fine black lines.

The aim is to make a good number of pleats which will be fairly narrow but still deep enough to give a good swish to the finished product
