    Let me see... a sketch looking at it from the bottum.

    = = = = = = =

    Like that. Each equal sighn is where the pleat is folded back on itself. The underline is the line of pleating which would be like a regular knife pleat. Hope that kind of works for a sketch, but I have know way of knowing if that looks like anything at all, see my user profile and my(Never mind, I just changed my signature and got rid of all the stuff about being blind) signature.

    Ok, if the bottum pic is of a military box pleat, then move the turned back part back so that it only covers half of the exposed part of the knife pleat part. I might be happy with a military box pleat in canvas, but that's not exactly what I'm seeing in my mind.
