Hello Bill
I can't give information of other forms of pleating as I am pretty much settled on the Reverse Kingussie for style, and having tried various options I find that small pleats are not all that easy to keep neat, and very deep ones - except for the under apron ones, can add weight without adding much to the swing of the kilt.

I found that 7 to 9 inches per knife pleat - the average measurement of the sett of quite a few tartans - gives the right sort of movement.

There are quite a few roads around here which have streetlamps which throw a good shadow for assessing pleat swing - yes I know - sad, isn't it - but it is a rather difficult thing to see any other way.

I don't find that one side of the RK kilt is easier to wear or care for - they being mirror images, but I am fairly ambidexterous so that might negate the handedness of the folding.
