Kilt Pleats

[Tobus]

At the other end of the spectrum is the military box-pleated kilt. These are pleated by folding the pleat back on itself, so that from the hem end they look like a box pleat on top of a knife pleat. Again, a different look from a conventional knife-pleated kilt and quite heavy by comparison.

In case anyone needed a visual on what a military box pleat looks like, here it is. We've had some lively discussions in the past on what exactly the MBP is, how to make it, or how to even describe it. Before we go down that road again, maybe it's better to just look at a photo.

Personally, if it were me, I'd go with the military box pleat. Nothing swishes better.
