The ancient smith has a large sett because the yellow and red lines alternate, so it's not unusual for some creative pleating to be used otherwise a huge ammount of fabric will be needed. This is one I made last year and I pleated it to alternate lines, but even so I used a little over 8 yards
And on the inside all the pleats were not uniform, but from the outside everything looks the same!

Thanks paulhenry!

I saw that photo before and was thinking of having my kilt being made like that, but I also know that Smith is a bit tricky because the sett is so large.
But I was wondering if it wouldn't have at least been possible to repeat the sett regularly...
Would you say this couldn't be done with a 5 yard kilt?

Thanks.

I would have thought that they could have done something which looked a bit more like the regular sett, it does seem a "tad" creative. 5 yards doesn't allow a lot of tolerance, but even so....
