Pleating option

**SF Jeff** · 26th February 25, 11:31 AM

I'm familiar with pleating to the stripe and sett, and box and knife pleats, but I came across an option that I'm not familiar with - casual pleat, balanced sett. Can anyone describe this, and perhaps post a picture? A forum search turned up nothing. Thanks.

Here's balanced sett with a labeled picture: https://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/...21#post1410321

Thanks for the pic. That explains the balanced sett (pretty obvious when you think about it). Any ideas on the casual pleat?

I don't think casual pleat is a well defined term. It's probably just used in common language. To me, I picture wider pleats in the 1" to 2" range as opposed to a specific pleating style.
But, maybe someone will chime in with information I'm not aware of.

I forget the name of it but there is a pleating style where Its like to the strip but only the stipes are underneath the pleats. The strips will only be visible when you walk.

I've heard that referred to as pleating to the block.
