The Black Watch is looking like it will be a knife pleat now, probably to the stripe (single black tram line on blue). The Wildcat is a total toss-up right now. I've learned through hard experience not to have a pre-set idea of how I'm going to pleat a tartan before I actually have it in hand. Almost every time time I thought I knew how I was going to pleat a tartan I've changed my mind after doing other test pleatings and seeing what they looked like.
Nice job, and excellent pleating.
Aaaaaannddd, I'm totally late to the party. It looks FAB! Really, really nice job. Your brother is a lucky man!!!

I do believe you've got this figured out! ... NICE.
Really nice! Great work on those pleats, keeping that stripe centered so well. Congratulations on a job well done!
