Sett Vs. Stripe
The repeating pattern in a tartan means that two quite distinct appearances can be had to the rear of a kilt, depending on how it is pleated. Kilts can be pleated either to the sett, so that the tartan pattern is preserved in the pleating, or else to the stripe, so that the same vertical line is centered on each pleat.Traditionally civilian kilts were pleated to the sett, and military to the stripe. But the choice is yours.
