Forgive me. I’ll have to look again. I thought that the Scott Modern (Brown) Hunting tartan in Tunes of Glory had the double vertical stripes in the hidden part of the pleats.
I recall a thread here some time ago that pondered exactly which tartan was being worn in "Tunes of Glory." I don't remember what the decision was but I don't think it was Scott Modern (Brown) Hunting although I am certainly not the one to ask.
That said, although it is also my understanding that most military kilts are pleated to stripe, there again I can't claim any certainty.
For that matter, even though I just recently watched "Tunes of Glory" and can remember one particular scene of men marching, I couldn't say whether what I was seeing was pleating to stripe or not.
But in any case, right or wrong, I figured pleating to stripe would enhance the "swing" of the kilt...and "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."

I think it looks very nice pleated to the double white stripe. The sporran looks sharp with it, as does the stick. Well put together outfit all around.
