Enlarged Sett

[creagdhubh]

When I had my Chattan (ancient) made by John @ Keltoi he provided me with a couple of options for pleating to the stripe.

I ended up going with pleating to the sett. There is also the possibility of pleating to the block, which I think Kyle put a photo up of once where a pipe band was pleated as such. Cheers

Thanks, Mike. Aye, I prefer pleating to the sett with the Chattan tartan, since the sett is so attractive and gorgeous to begin with. I really don't wish to "hide" all of that on the reverse side of the kilt. I want people to be able to see the sett from all angles. Hopefully, this will all be possible with enlarging the sett as far as I can go without losing a good number of pleats.

Mike, could you perhaps post a few photos of you wearing your Chattan kilt? Especially a reverse shot, or two? I do recall seeing various photos in your thread regarding your Chattan kilt from Keltoi a while back. Thanks, mate!

Also, is this the photo you are talking about? A local pipe band wearing the Clan Chattan tartan in the modern colour scheme (pleated to the line) at the Clan Macpherson Gathering and Rally in Inverness-shire. See how small the overall sett size looks here? Not a fan.



Cheers,
