Scottish National Pleated to Stripe

**Riverkilt** · 13th November 07, 08:45 AM

Dang,

WhoDey still doesn't have a pic of his Scottish National to the stripe...hate to yank his thread when he's in need...not fair.

Just to get the shoe police interogation over with...yeah, I am an addict...don't much matter if its booze or shoes.

got the original blue and white tennie when that's all Z Coil made
Then have two white tennies - one mesh for summer, one solid for foul weather.
Then same for black - one for heat, one for foul weather (remember it gets over 110 out here and a closed shoe gets toasty.
then they finally came out with a brown...closed, no mesh yet.

And, I hike so I have the grey hiking boot and a brown hiking boot.

And I have the enclosed spring boot.

It takes about thirty seconds to get used to walking in Z Coils. They are flat, not a high heel like a cowboy boot. If I stumble, they give me a second chance to recover - a gift I never expected.

Don't have the mud problem on the springs. Website is best for the curious.

And meantime...lets see if we can find WhoDay his picture. Feeling bad about this unintentional hijack.

If noone has this kilt...I have a piece of this tartan in P-V and can go pleat up a couple versions and post pictures later today or tomorrow.

Wow Moosedog I wouldn't expect anyone to go to that much trouble. I was just curious on the options I had other than the sett. I've searched on the internet and have yet to find any photos....

Thanks!

If you haven't seen the Scottish American (as opposed to the Scottish National) pleated to the white stripe, you should consider that. It's fabulous.

I would listen to Barb.

If any member of this forum knows what they are talking about, it's her.

And me, when I'm talking about her.

Like now.

Ok here is a rough pleating of this to the stripe. I bought a piece of this fabric (Marton Mills P-V, the same thing USAKilts uses) thinking to the stripe, but now I look at it I'm not sure. One issue is it has a tiny sett (approx 5 1/4 inches) So here is a photo of it pleated as I imagine a casual might be--with wider pleats and using two setts per pleat.

And here it is with narrower pleats and one sett per pleat. It ended up being quite busy--the stripe does not "pop" at all. I tried pleating to the red line and didn't like that either...So for what help it might be...

Of course Rocky can help you with specifics. I think with the wider pleats it looks sharp

Thanks Moosedog, and everyone else. After much consideration, I ended up calling Rocky yesterday and ordered my new kilt.....only I decided on going w/ the Buchanan (of course). Thanks for all you help, should have pictures in about 2 weeks, can't wait!
