    My personal preference for Black Watch would be pleated to sett as I think the dark colors (mine is actually fairly bright for BW tartan) are going to blur into each other. As Glen notes though, it is your choice. I would ask your kilt maker's advice and if you are really keen on having it pleated to stripe see if your kilt maker can do a quick mock up and send you a photo so you get an idea of what it looks like.

    Cheers
