The material I have is a poly/wool blend. The sett is 5 7/8 inches (pretty close to 15cm).

I originally wanted to pleat to the stripe because it is different. And I do think that the red on green would give the kilt a very unique look.

I know that doing the pleating properly will be difficult, and I need to get the stitches closer together, but I did get some practice. Unfortunately, the pleats on the Stillwater were already set, and I didn't want to redo the entire kilt.

At the price I paid for the material, perhaps I will order up some more yardage and make one to the sett as well.

My wife is happy I have a hobby, and I think she is happy that I am actually doing something to have a kilt instead of just talking about them all the time!

Barb - the ripping went swimmingly! I had enough for 28" for both halves (24L + 2" rise + 2" hem), and two 1 1/2 inch pieces for the top band, etc. I guess I was lucky the fabric was 59"....

BTW, anyone know of sources for tartan remnants?
