Knife pleated V Box pleated

[Nathan]

I would argue that regimental weight tartan pleated in bulky military pleating style doesn't swing all that well - the pleats are stiffer and don't have the flexibility of a standard knife pleat. [*ducks* - I expect some will protest this analysis, but, hey, that's what I think. ]

I'm not protesting, but just thought I'd help people visualize. Regimental weight tartan pleated in military pleating style swings like the Cape Breton Highlanders marching here as that's what they are wearing:



I'll let the reader/viewer decide if that swings well enough for them but there it is on a bunch of folks.

This was after their rebadging from the Nova Scotia Highlanders, back to the Cape Breton Highlanders but they hadn't yet received their Black Watch tartan kilts and were still wearing MacDonald modern. The kilts you see in that video look like this close up:









And here's my dad, mid stride in my regimental weight regimental pleated kilt.
