    Oh, THAT Macdonald tartan. Got me one of those, but no good pleat shots....

    Soooo

    Just laid out the kilt (USA Kilts semi-trad), and rumpled the pleats a bit to hopefully show the pleating better.

    Here you go. Hope its helpful. Sure is a busy tartan.

    And the Modern Macdonald is a symmetric tartan. Only the Dress MacDonald is asymmetric.

    Never seen this Macdonald tartan pleated to stripe that I remember. You could check the multitude of Clan Donald websites for picies if you haven't already, or maybe you could pin it up yourself and see if its possible...seems a very busy tartan to pleat to stripe but what do I know...?

    I agree, it looks best pleated to the sett.

    Don't let him kid you - Ron knows A LOT about kilts! And he's right - awfully busy to pleat this one to the stripe.

    Barb,
    Thanks for the advice. I was able to talk the client into pleating to the sett.
