    A Piper's Plaid has sewn down pleats, but I've never seen a pleated fly plaid. It is usually just neatly gathered at the shoulder.

    Some suppliers will have the gathers sewn in, but this is just for convenience. You don't pleat the length of the plaid; you neatly gather one corner and pin it to the front of the jacket.
