Need experienced help and opinions - Tartan Design

[48th Highlander]

I am trying to design a tartan that combines the colors of the 48th Highlanders kilt (Modern Davidson - Green, blue, black, red stripe) which I wear by right, and the colors of my Armorial Bearings (gold and black) which were granted me by the Chief Herald of Canada (Governor General).

So this is what i have come up with. It has a 7" repeat. I want to get this done and registered, but don't want to do anything until I get your opinions, and the opinions of kilt makers on the forum.

I wonder, can you knife pleat to the stripe using the alternating red, and gold stripes?

If I did one or the other, it would be the gold stripe.

If I pleated to the sett, would that be better?

HELP! Not final, but a concept awaiting your opinions.

I'm certainly no expert, but to my eye that is a very pleasing tartan. Bold, without being overwhelming. We've go several great kilt makers here at XMarksTheScot who I'm sure will give their input on your pleating options.
