Steve , Paul pleated my kilt to the stripe, have a look on Sunday, but Paul is a genius he will show you whats achievable and the variations. It's so good when you can actually talk to your kltmaker face to face.

Hi Steve,
My Robertson Htg ancient [Marton's fabric JR123] is pleated to the set, and I am very pleased with it, I think principally because the blue and the green are distinctly different colours, unlike some of the weavers' modern where the blue, green and black can be an almost indistinguishable background for the red and the white. I like being able to see the set all the way around.
That said, I appreciate that pleating to either red or white gives plenty of scope for a nice reveal of the blue or green when you are swishing. I reckon you will be pleased whichever way you go.
I hope that you may see examples of both at Harpenden to help you make your mind up: enjoy the weekend!

I have to agree with Simon here, Steve. Leave it up to the genius. He will show you the different possibilities (and even tell you which one he likes best) and then you choose. Easy.
