Question about sewn down pleats

[Barb T]

And I would argue that deep pleats don't necessarily swing any better than shallower ones (I'm not talking 1" deep pleats here, but the difference between a large sett and a smallish sett that would enable you to make 5" deep pleats instead of 2.5-3" deep pleats). How much tartan you have in the back of the kilt and the length of the fell relative to the kilt are more crucial.

That is a great piece of information as I fight with the a tartan that has only a 4.5" set, with a 3/4 in reveal I would still have 3.75" pleat. The knowledge here is unbelievable. If you are still working on edition two Barb this would be something great to add.
