Pleat Types
I am coming across some kilt terms that I do not understand. I would appreciate any help in explaining these:
1. knife pleats
2. box pleats
3. (any other pleat types)
I have two Stillwater Economy kilts. Does anyone know what type of pleats these have?

Those are knife pleats.
There's an illustration of various pleat styles here.

No worries. It wasn't so long ago that someone was showing me that illustration to explain military box pleating.

If you want to be really confused, do a site search on "kingussie pleat"
It has a center box pleat in the back, and then knife pleats running in opposite directions towards the apron. The Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin has one on display that is stunning.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

If one does not know, the logical response is to inquire.

We all often forget there are those who are as unaware as we once were. Glad you asked... gives other new-comers a chance to learn as well...

I'd love to see a picture of that.
