Designed a BIG SETT for a BIG GUY (X-marks experiment)

[48th Highlander]

I am a big dude. I am 6 foot 7 inches, and about 380 lbs. I have a nice regimental Davidson kilt in the sett size and knife pleated to the stripe which is really all I ever wore.

I realized I wanted to dive in to the XMARKS shark tank and design my own tartan and register it. I wanted it however to be proportionate to my large size. I had Artificer do me a larger than normal skunk sporran, and all I had to do was create a similarily proportioned tartan that looked "right" on me. I am not yet sure if I have achived that, but wanted to start a thread, get some comments, and move through the kilt making process with the famed Barb T.

The tartan has a double alternating sett. Bottle green, antique green, black, morning grey, and a canary yellow stripe. The sett was designed to replicate colors important to me, and the black and yellow (gold) are from my Armorial Bearings from the Canadian Heraldic Authority. Gold and black from the Maryland flag as my state of residence. My intent is to knife pleat to the stripe centered in the pleat. Because it is an alternating sett, every other pleat will be slightly different in color. Something like a Black Watch kilt. Yeah, I have been told this is incorrect, but it is how my Davidson kilt is pleated, and I wanted that connection and look.

This is the first tartan I have designed, so go easy on me. It was iteration number 1000, and I went the gamut from a very busy tight sett to a simple contrasting sett.

What do you think? I will update this thread to culminate with a pic of me wearing it with the accoutrements I have had made for it. One thing about being this big, everything is custom made, so I did not have much of a choice.

The Cope can and tape are there so you can get an idea of the sett size. Sorry about the lighting. Kitchen counter, and Iphone.
