Stripe Pleating Question

**triforme** · 15th April 10, 02:15 PM

Hi, folks. I had a question about pleating to the stripe. Has anyone ever pleated the clergy tartan to stripe? There are three obvious options (to gray in black, gray in blue, and grey in blue #2). In looking at them, I started to wonder if anyone had ever pleated to a color change, so that each pleat was evenly divided between two main colors? (last option shown) One downside would be that there would be no reveal in the pleats, really.

I think it's usually pleated to a white (grey) stripe on blue.

Like this.

Oh Hethoir, did you have to put my big ugly rear end up there!?

It looks nice with that towel wrapped around it.

Usually, when pleating to a stripe, you want to choose a dominant element. On the kilt that Hothir is modeling, I would choose the white/blue/white stripe as the most dominant to reduce the lawn chair effect.
