    At first glance I thought that pleating it to no stripe looked very neat. I was imagining how well the red would flash while walking.

    After reading what the Wizard had posted I have to give it at least a second thought. But if you can avoid the "lawn chair effect" I think it would be very unique.

    Just my thoughts...as muddled as they may be.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    I used a fabric like that (from what I can see it is identical) for one of my early kilts, and pleated to the white stripe within the red.

    I remade it once I lost weight and actually did not like it with a narrower pleat that made the pleats look to be all red. The darker edging gave more impact and I put it away to rethink and remake at a later date.
