Sorry...Pleating to the sett or to the stripe...What is the more common?

Pleating to the stripe is quite often a military thing whereas pleating to the sett would be more common for civilians, as a general rule, of course you are free to get a kilt pleated however you wish.

As for what kilt maker is better, well again that is up to you. I happen to own a few 8 yard hand sewn kilts, CCK's, in both wool and PV, 8 and 5 yards, a USAKilt Semi Trad, and a Stillwater standard. Having said that they all have rotation in my wardrobe, and they all have their place. I would not for example wear my Stillwater to a wedding. So the question becomes what are you going to do with it? Once you answer that it might help you to decide what kilt to go with.

My personal feeling is that you should get the most expensive kilt you can afford, bearing in mind how and wear you will wear it.

Aye,

I have a USN semi-traditional (poly viscose) on order with Rocky at USA Kilts...with that special run of USN tartan....won't be long now.

Guessing you guys know about that...? If not, give Rocky a holler and see if he's got enough fabric for more.
