MacMillan,

You know, I've never thought it mattered either. I was talking to a guy in a kilt shop a month or two ago and he was really pushing this kilt I had eyeballed and bragging about how many pleats it had. So for some reason, I guess, I started to think that more pleats=nicer kilt. Clearly I've been mistaken because you are absolutely right, I really don't care. Thanks! As to the pleating, I am starting to lean to the sett. I think the stripe is cool but you loose the red. Thanks all for the input. I'll surely post some pics when it's done. I'd imagine a test drive will be in order , before the wedding...

Cheers,
