    Double Box Pleat

    Okay I have been doing research on pleating options, box, military box, sett, double sett, line pleating... yada yada yada. I never knew there was so much to learn. It gets deeper!

    So does anyone own a double box pleat? I would love to see it in action.

    Look for posts by Ancienne Alliance. He has posted lots of photos of himself in the beautiful double box pleats that his wife, Lady Chrystel, makes. He's also got an album of double box photos.

    I am proud to own one of Lady Chrystel's supremely beautiful double box-pleated kilts, and am determined to ask her to make another for me at some point in the future.

    Here is a 'pleat shot':



    Take care,

    I have one and another on order. They CANNOT be beat. I like the double box more than the knife pleat, and Lady Chrystel's work is frst rate!
