The Kingussie has a box pleat centre back and the knife pleats point forwards, which I find a nuisance as I wear my kilts out in the heathland and they snag very easily.

The reverse Kingussie has the pleats pointing backwards and the centre back is an inverted box peat which makes riding my bike easy. The inverted box pleat is hidden behind the knife pleats.

I do not know why the style of pleating seems to negate the need to sew in tapers, but having spent time between mirrors checking how the pleats lie, for me at least there is no need.
