Today my uncle and I were talking about kilts, as we frequently do, and he asked me a very interesting question that I could not answer. I thought I'd ask the professionals out there.

Is there a fabric difference depending on whether you pleat the to the sett or stripe?

He figured that they must be pleated differently to get the effect, and thought that maybe one had more than the other. I told him that I thought that they had the same amount of fabric, just with different pleat depths to get the desired effect.

So which is it? I'm looking at you Barb/Rocky/Newsome/etc.
