Marton Mills 11oz PV in St David's appears (at least from Scotweb's listing) to have alternating similar width vertical stripes of a green and red, with white and red overchecks.

Okay, first I am not a kiltmaker so I may seem ignorant of some facts normally taken for granted by experienced kiltmakers. So please pardon my ignorance.

I am a bit confused as you state that you took 4 meters of DW fabric and split it before pleating, so I must assume you are only using one of the two 4 m SW pieces that result, and saving the other for other purposes. Why not piece it together and make a full 8yd kilt? With the lighter weight of the material the extra yardage would give you a kilt with a bit more bulk and body, and definitely better swish value with more and deeper pleats across the back. It would even allow you to double or triple fringe the front apron to add a bit of weight to that part as well. And I have to believe it would give you far better pleating options across the back. The fabric is relatively inexpensive (only about $20US per DW meter per Scotweb, plus s/h) and you could always get more for whatever other project you had the second piece set aside for. Just one man's opinion.
