Thanks, your kilt looks great, looks like you have about 28 pleats, I'd end up with 26 using 1/2 sett. I was just looking at the pleats on a Black Watch kilt where they seemed to use the 1/2 sett to the double black stripe on the blue then the blue with no stripe. It seems it would be difficult to keep the pleat with no stripe centred and straight, what do you think of using chalk marks on the pleats with no stripe?
