Sett size and pleat depth...

[ccga3359]

I am starting a pleated garmet made in the traditional kilt manner for my wife (not going to name the garment, might provide fuel for this fire!) It is the tartan seen below. My question is how deep should I make the pleats? The sett is 4.5", and I am going to pleat to the center white stripe. That makes a nice 1" reveal, but if I only use one sett per pleat, the depth is kind of small, only 3.5". For a traditional look and swish, should I consider
2 setts per pleat? That gives a (virtual) 9" sett. And with a 1" reveal at the hips, a 4" depth (8" material), which is quite nice.

Any thoughts, especially from our more trad makers?

Go with the larger pleats! Please use as much material as possible.

Very nice tartan! I'm partial to red tartans. Must post pics when finished!
