DPM (camo) pinstripe, corduroy - if you want to use 'em in the right orientation you have to do the seams.
After getting the hang of making the pleats so you can have the seams where they are least obvious - where there would be a fold on a long strip, it is not so bad.
As I make reverse Kinguisse kilts it gives me the opportunity to rotate the fabric to get mirror image halves, so it is actually an advantage to have the strips for some methods of construction.
