This is the standard default pleating method. Probably 90% of the kilts we make are Pleat to Sett. Pleat to stripe — A prominent stripe in the pattern is chosen, and that stripe is centered down the middle of each pleat. This is a traditional military style, and can look very nice. Some tartans just don't look good pleated to stripe however. If you choose this option we will let you know if it can't (or shouldn't) be done.  Measuring Instructions: Have someone help you. If you bend even a little while trying to do it yourself, the measurements will change. Measure comfortably around your middle, at your navel (belly button). This is your kilt waist. If you have a bit more around the middle than you might like to have (like I do), you may want to measure a little higher than the navel to get over the crest of the "beer gut". The higher waist will help your kilt stay up where it belongs. Measure around your hips at the fullest point (usually 6-8 inches below the kilt waist). Measure from your kilt waist to about the middle of the knee.
