    Looking for Dress Gordon Pleat Pics

    I'm looking at getting a Dress Gordon semi-trad from USA Kilts, but wanna see what different pleat treatments look like.

    Tried a search here and was overwhelmed with how many of us Gordons there are. Can't wade through it, tried and didn't find any.

    Have been trying various House of Gordon websites without luck since folks like to face the camera.

    So, appreciate any pics or suggestions on how to eyeball some pics of Dress Gordon to sett or various stripe treatments.

    Thanks.

    Already have the Modern Gordon, Red Gordon, and Weathered Gordon.

    Gotta stay loyal to the House.

    Sorry, Ron. All I can find is a shot of one pleated to the yellow stripe.

    Man, if I were a Gordon and looking for a Gordon tartan kilt, I'd go with that Red Gordon WEATHERED. Man!!! That one is stunning.

    Thanks Arlen, that helps.

    Just don't want it to look too weird on the backside.

    Thanks guys, that's exactly what I'm looking for!! Guessing that seems to be the "standard" way to pleat dress Gordon.

    I love my pipes. And it's just the bag covering. When I play solo, I put on the Gordon Dress cover, but my pipe band requires a black bag, so I have to change it depending on where/who I'm playing with.
