I'm out.
Awww...Ted, don't be "out." I like your input. I just wish you'd be a bit more assertive. At least you're not hiding under the chair now

Sorry if it appeared that I misread your post, but I thought the aesthetic question should be dealt with first as you mentioned it first. I was just emphasizing how important aesthetics were to me.

I do think I dealt with the ideas of tradition and the importance of tartan in and of itself. I just happen to think that pleating to the sett is not necessarily the most traditional arrangement nor do I think it always serves the interest of the tartan better than pleating to the stripe because no matter how hard you try you are not guaranteed of getting a perfect representation of the sett in the pleats especially when you're moving, which most of us do a lot. Your mileage may vary and that is fine by me. If we all agreed about everything it'd be a dull world indeed.

Brian
