Pleating to the stripe but which stripe

[Nemuragh]

I’m thinking of having a kilt made up in Maclean of Duart by Lochcarron, medium weight (https://www.lochcarron.co.uk/maclean...tartan-fabric/ ). This seems to be one of several Maclean variations but this is woven with 7 colours (I think) including a dark blue and light blue. This makes the blue pop out in a way I really like (and the other variations don’t, not even the Lochcarron heavy-weight version).

My question is, if I get it pleated to the stripe, which stripe? The 2 light blue stripes which border the thin black stripe seems the logical choice but would it be possible to alternate between the thin blue stripes and the single darker blue stripe (or would this stripe be too wide to fit on a pleat)? This arrangement might give more colour variation if it were possible.

Any thoughts?
