"Flash of color" in pleating to the stripe

[KiltShot]

Here's my daughter's Antarctica kilt:

Is the tartan on the right Highland Granite? And if it is, what are the popular ways to pleat it other than to the sett?

Kiltshot,

The kilt on the right is indeed Highland Granite. It also happens to be mine. Barb made it for her, at the time, prospective son in law, who decided he wanted a different Tartan for the wedding. Barb offered it for sale here on the forum. I just happen to have Barb's cell phone number and happen to catch her in the Denver airport.

This Kilt is one of my most prized posessions. As this photo of it is featured in the second printing of "The Art of Kiltmaking", and is, I believe, the first kilt ever made from the Highland Granite Tartan, I have major bragging rights.

I doubt it was the first one, but it certainly was one of the early ones!
