Gorgeous tartan! Our kiltmakers will surely comment on its "pleatability."

I like it a lot! I think it would look particularly striking in a large sett, say about 10" between the yellow lines. Let us know when you get it woven ... and post pics.

Very nice, looks like one made back in the old days. Seems all the new ones are easy to spot as new ones.

this is the same design and colors just re-arranged to give darker appearence. the left pic is front and right would be pleats. after spending some time looking i think i like this one better. what do u guys think?

I much prefer the second version. You could also alternate the W/Y stripe on the pleats.

I prefer the first simply because it is brighter, more colorful, and the colors are more easily distinguishable. But, it may in part be due to the different size of the images. Either would make a very nice-looking kilt.
