Reet Pleat for Macdonald of Sleat?

[turpin]

One of my next kilts will be the Macdonald of Sleat. I'm soliciting advice from you all, kiltmakers especially, on the pleating options. I tend to facor pleating to the stripe, but am open. here are some examples I've put together, poor though they may be, with the cloth that I have now (5 meters double-wide). How does the membership vote?

Red bar (no stripe)




Broad Green Stripe




Next up: Campbell ancient (when my battery recharges)

I like the broad green stripe.

[HeathBar]

My vote is for the red. But with that much material, you could have two 4yd box pleats or 5yd knife pleats, or one of each.

[MacWage]

Green.

The red is just "too much."

[MACKAY]

I personally like the Red ... but as MacWage said, it is a LOT of red.

[McClef]

I think the green will provide some much-needed relief to the dominance of the red.

[James MacMillan]

I like the broad green stripe.

That's my choice!

[Wompet]

The green. I almost pleated the Robertson Red that I'm working on now similarly (went with the sett, though - this time).

Broad green stripe.

[Bryan]

I like the green myself.
