Sorry there fella's, that's incorrect. Pleating to the stripe (regimental pleating) takes one of the prominant vertical lines and centers it on each pleat exposure. This repeats this all across the backside. This is the alternate to pleating to the sett which repeats the tartan pattern across the backside. Check out any pictures of pipe bands on the net and you'll get a good idea what it looks like. If anything, pleating to the stripe makes you look thinner! 8)
