    I'm a kilt maker and I have pleated loads of kilts to that stripe. What I did was pleat alternating between the two stripes on the blue and the no stripe section between the two sets of black stripes. I was given a Black Watch Regiment kilt to replicate by a local pipe band. That's why I did it that way.

    Not the best photo, but maybe it will give you an idea what it looks like.

    So, to every blue square, not alternating as raised in the OP?

    One issue that has not been brought up is that, in the example of the kilt by Arnot above, the primary background color will be black lines on blue vs the background of black lines on green that is present in the RRS kilts.

    This may or may not effect your decision.

    I suggest that you take your length of kilt fabric and test pleat it up a few different ways and see which you like better.

    This is a very common practice among kiltmakers.

    It would appear that I read the OP wrong. Apologies.
