Only one of my kilts is pleated to the stripe (yes, that is how most kiltmakers of my acquaintance refer to it). It is the Gunn, Weathered Colours, which has a prominent red stripe running through the sett.

When I ordered this kilt, I made the mistake of asking for it to be pleated to the red stripe, when I should have asked for it to be done slightly differently. Don't get me wrong, I very much like the way the kilt looks, but I cannot help thinking how much more attractive it would have been with the red stripe hidden inside each pleat. When walking, the swing o' the pleats would then have afforded the observer sneaky flashes of red - much more eye-catching![/img]
