Military Box Pleats

[Barb T]

So on the back of this kilt and other "military" box pleats, may I presume they cut the pleats in the fell and do the steeking as for a knife pleat, rather than the traditional box pleat steeking?

I honestly don't know - I've never taken apart a military box pleated kilt, but it seems like you'd pretty much have to cut out the pleats, or you'd have even more bulk in the fell than in a regular kilt.

Steve - what do the military box pleated kilts that you've taken apart look like inside under the lining?
