I prefer solid colors, so that makes the stripe slightly more impossible than the sett.

That said, I do prefer the symmetry and consistency of a kilt when pleated to the sett.

The only tartan kilt I am really eager to get my hands on is a fraser hunting USAK, and the obvious choice there would be to pleat to the bright red stripe. However, I like the look of the tartan as is, and I think I'd feel a bit like a baboon with that much red on my @$$.
