pleated to the "dreaded lawn chair effect"

[Terry Searl]

Good day Rabble
there are a number of things i like about this site but especially the honesty in opinion, the varied opinions, and the respect from members towards each other in expressing their opinions. It is also a great site to get professional advice
I am considering having a new 8 yd, 16 oz wool kilt made in the Canadian Maple Leaf tartan
I like the tartan but I have to admit there doesn't seem to be a brilliant vibrancy in the colours as there is in some other tartans
I am also considering to have it pleated to the horizontal stripe, mostly because as I understand it, that pleating isn't done much and not to that tartan......and I would like my new kilt to be just a wee bit different and personal......do any of you have this tartan pleated that way and or what are your thoughts about pleating this tartan to the horizontal strip......much thanx in advance
