chattan tartan

[creagdhubh]

For example, my next kilt order will be a custom weave in the Chattan Clan tartan in the reproduction colour scheme woven by D.C. Dalgiesh. I'm planning to have the sett enlarged slightly, but not to the extent where it will substantially decrease the number of pleats for a standard, 8-yard kilt when pleated to the sett. This is my preference. The colour scheme I've selected has no bearing on how large the sett size will be. As Peter mentioned, this is entirely up to the weaver. And in my case; a combination of the weaver (D.C. Dalgliesh), myself, and my kilt-maker (Barb Tewksbury).

Lochcarron has a 10 in sett size. Is that too big in your honest opinions?

No, not at all. I think it looks fantastic in kilt form. Perhaps anything larger would look too big, or could potentially run into pleating issues.

The pleating issues were what I was worried about mainly. I think it looks fine too. I am having it box pleated to the stripe.
