It's almost Armstrong... except that Bubba's red stripe is through the green, not the blue. I'm 99% sure it's a real tartan (assigned to a name), but I don't have my swatch books here and I'm not going thru tartan finder for hours to find it.

Either way, it's a BEAUTIFUL tartan! I agree... pleat it regimental to the red. It will look awesome. That's how I usually pleat the "Gunn" tartan and people love it.

The thing I like about pleating Regimental or "military style" instead of "to the sett" is that the back of the kilt looks COMPLETELY different from the front. Some tartans look BETTER to the sett, but when I can, I like the regimental look.

Post pics when you're dlone making your kilt, bubba! What is the fabric? Wool, Cotton Poly, PV, ? Where did you get it?
