5 Yard Knife-Pleated Kilt in Braveheart Warrior (Marton Mills Jura)

[OC Richard]

That's what the kiltmaker did for me, when I was ordering my Isle of Skye. He sent me photos of a sample section pinned in various ways:

Barbara, am I correct in guessing that the potential issue with pleating to the white stripe is that it's not surrounded by sufficiently broad stripes? In other words, if the red bands on either side of the white stripe didn't have those narrow dark lines in them there would be room for the pleats to "breathe" so to speak, to taper and maintain a solid area on either side of the white stripe?

One solution would be to pleat it to the wide empty black area. Another would be using the brilliant blue stripe surrounded by black. Neither would be as satisfying (in the Gordon Highlanders/Seaforth Highlanders way) as pleating to that white stripe, possibly. I did something like that on my Isle of Skye: the obvious stripe to choose would have been the light grey one, but instead I chose the pairs of brown lines.
