    Very nice....

    Love the pleat to the horizontal stripes, (that is what it's called isn't it?)

    Well, no, you can't pleat to a horizontal stripe. In pleating to the stripe, the tartan element chosen is the same in all pleats and is oriented vertically, not horizontally. Traditionally, pleating to the stripe has a prominent stripe down the center of the pleat. In the case of the Wildcat, I chose the solid gray (no central stripe - it is essentially its own wide stripe) - so you could say it's pleated to the solid gray vertical stripe, if you want.

    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    Now that we have seen pictures of a completed kilt, may I say this truly a beautiful tartan.

    I can't see any pictures of the new kilt, whether I'm signed in or not. There's just empty space on the screen, not even any links. Do I need to do something different to see them?

    I see the pix just fine; may be your computer settings.

    Love the tartan; it really is beautiful and Barb, it's no surprise to me how perfectly the pleats lie. You've done a magnificent job as always.

    On my computer screen it shows up as a stunningly beautiful combination of colours. That is a true winner.
