    Same for me. Some tartans, when pleated to the stripe, end up looking to me like they have big horizontal stripes, and I'm not fond of that look. Maybe it's just my eyes. I have one kilt pleated to the stripe and the rest are to the sett, so I'm not anti-stripe.

    Stripe, I like the way you can change the look of the tartan from the back to front. Kind of boring if it is the same all the way around.

    I like the effect of my kilts looking different on the front and back,

    also

    I am still reducing my weight and it is much easier to adapt a kilt plaeted to the stripe...

    I prefere the sett because of the reason some like the stripe: the fabric looks different front and back when pleated to the stripe.

    But then, I have a Gordon and a Leatherneck pleated to the stripe, so there you are.
