Remember that, with a tartan like this, you can "cheat the pleats" to get more pleats in. With only a few exceptions, each tartan element is repeated twice per sett. So, you can go over less than one full sett to pick up the element. Depending on where you start, you might wind up having to have one or two really deep pleats (full sett), but it won't show except from the back of the kilt.

That's a better alternative than pleats with a large reveal, and it will swing better.
