Jock, I love the large sett size!
So many tartans I see woven nowadays in setts that look too small to me.
Seems that at least some of the mills have the sett size increase as the weight increases. The 16oz cloth is usually big enough.
When I look through the sample-books of a few different major mills there's a certain amount of agreement as to sett sizes. It's interesting to look at The Highlanders Of Scotland in which men are wearing kilts in smaller and larger sett-sizes than we normally see today, in fabric intended for men's kilts.
