Kinguise is a town/district in Scotland where the pleat system was first seen. It is spelled a bit different I think.
Denim, when new, has a lot of sizing in it that makes it stiff. There are also several different weaves of denim.
A trick I use on new denim and on the cotton ducks, is, after they have been hang dried, I toss them in the cold dryer for 10 minutes with a dozen clean tennis balls. It makes the denim diaper (nappy) soft without any apparent harm. On the ducks, it reduces the stiffness and abrasiveness 
- some.
These broken in Utilikilt denims seem totally immune to wrinkles.

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
