how to pleat this?

[Chas]

I'm with Chas here, I think part of the beauty/the interest/the uniqueness of tartan is exactly the fact that it can be used in so many different ways. I've never been too worried about the so called "lawn chair " effect.
I've just finished the pleating of an Ulster(peat) to the red line, and that causes a series of broad bands, but I really like it, so the bottom line is.. if you like it, go for it!!

Good luck

The funny thing is that this is the only place I have ever heard the 'lawn chair' effect discussed. It is almost as if nobody else in the kilt wearing world cares.

Regards

If you're looking the kilt as such, then there is noting wrong with lawn chair effect. But as I said previously it can make you "fat" looking, due to prevailing horizontal lines.

No, don't say I didn't warn you
