    My grey stripes become a little less than a single width at the waist. You should be able to see it in my xmts kilt post.

    I tried pleating to the yellow stripe once and then ripped it out because it was too bright for my old eyes.

    Put the yellow down the center and let the Grey just disappear. It was the only way I could come up with.

    Here are some other choices.



    From L to R To the Sett, To the Gray Stripe, To no Stripe, To the Yellow Stripe, To the White Stripe.

    Mine is pleated to the yellow stripe (by our own very talented way2fractious!)

    Here is a thread with a few pictures of my military box pleat XMTS tartan kilt

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/m...x.html?t=33534

    Pleating to the yellow stripe actually makes the back of an XMTS tartan kilt far more subtle looking than the front, which is something of a reverse to other pleated to stripe kilts.

    Cheers
