Stupid question time. My window is 120 inches wide, what width curtains do I need for a decent gather?

They are for a curtain rail with hooks if it makes a difference?

At least double up to triple width. I think I went double on my French doors, but I rarely draw them so they don't need much gather.

I've heard, 1 x the width, 1.5 times and double lol.

Are they really 120 inches wide? That's huge!
