    Thx!

    This is the original Breadalbane tartan, kne that designed for/worn by the Breadalbane Fencibles. The only way to incorporate both yellow stripes would be to use smallish setting and a wide box pleat. And by box-pleat, I mean the early 19th century style, not a modern military box-pleat. Otherwise, pleating to one of the yellow (the same one on each pleat) could work, depending on the sett size.
