Different looks pleating to the stripe

I'm guessing the top band working out the way it did is a function of waist size (number and size of pleats) and sett size?

Unusual buckles on the top one too...

It's solely a function of the length across the top of the pleats and the size of the sett. If the length is an even multiple of the sett size, then the top band will match in both the apron and underapron. Doesn't matter the number of pleats or the size of the pleats.

The buckles are a set that I got from Robert Pel at RKilts. What's really nice are the straps - they are really thick and embossed with a Celtic knot design. Because they are so thick, though, they won't go through the regular rectangular kilt buckles, so he sent me these to go with the straps.

Barb,

Are those brass buckles or is it just a trick of the light?

On yours? Yes! And brown leather straps. Looks great with the tartan.

I am soooooo jealous. I loved Heatherfield the moment Rex introduced it.

Beautiful work Barb.

I believe that only one in 50 kilts will match the top band with front apron and the underapron sett. At least that has been my experience.

Looks grand and I would lvote for the one in the single yellow with the purple.

Thanks,
