Belted Plaid pleating tips and tricks?

[Derekc5555]

I use 3 meters of 18 oz double width, this is the equivalent of 6 meters of tartan in the Great kilt wearing period.

I go in 5 vertical bars from one end, I pull all the black bars to where they touch, leaving no black showing on the outside. I pleate till I get to 5 vertical back bars left on the other end, Then I lay on it, wrap it around, stick by belt underneath me and buckle it. Stand up and arrange it.

What tartan is your plaid?
