    I will try to get a couple of closeups later today as well as an interesting addition to the inside of the pleats.

    You are mistaken! It is to the yellow stripe (time for a new monitor and/or glasses turpin! )

    Is that the difference with a military box pleat?
    A Military box pleat is, in a nutshell, a knife pleat that has been folded over again on itself. Very different from Matt's box pleats. Hopefully a picture or two will illustrate the difference.

    I'll leave that one to the kilt maker.
