The center back of the kilt actually lies between two pleats in the middle of the back. If my question is confusing to anyone, just holler, and I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Pleae post a pic. I am working with an odd number of pleats. I had huge issues trying to determine the pleats and how to match my center back stripe. I finally threw my hands in the air and just said do what you can. I got close, but was a little off, due to the taper. From a distance I am sure no one will notice. I picked a tough one to do my first pleating to the sett.
