a kiltmaker's input
Here's some input from a kiltmaker/artist....
If it were made into a knife pleated kilt, pleated to the light green stripe, the green would take up most of the pleat reveal. But it could be pleated with part of the green (1/4" or so) on the leading edge, followed by the dark. Or it could be pleated with the dark field on the reveal with the light green flashing underneath when the person moves. It could be made that way as a 5 yard (2 1/2yds fabric double width) knife pleated kilt or an 8 yard (4 yards DW).
Since a box pleated kilt has a wider reveal, the light green stripe would work well centered on the reveal, bordered by the dark.
It's a beautiful and mysterious looking tartan, so it would look great pleated to the sett, as well.
