I thought it might be useful to post pictures of three kilts in variants of the same tartan (modern, ancient, and weathered). The neat thing about these three kilts is that they are also pleated differently - one to the sett, one to the stripe, and one to (as you guys say) the "no stripe". So, here they are. It's also interesting to see that the three kilts have quite different pleat tapers and apron shapes. It's a nice illustration of the fact that a custom kilt is made to fit the measurements of a particular person by tapering the pleats and shaping the edge of the apron. All three are 16 oz.

[For those of you who are newbies, the white stitching in the first kilt is the basting that I leave in for shipping so that the pleats don't get messed up in the box.]

Modern Douglas, pleated to the sett:


Ancient Douglas, pleated to the "no stripe" (technically, this is also pleated to the stripe, but each pleat is in a solid color block, hence the informal "no stripe"):


Weathered Douglas, pleated to the white stripe:
