The Swing of the Pleats

[ccga3359]

To answer your question, Bob, the pleats on a knife pleat swing more freely to the left, as that is the direction they open. For every two strides you get one full swing. I think the reverse kinguisse would be the thing to do, because the left side would swing left and the right open to the right, so you'd get great swing on each stride.

Butt () perhaps one needs the larger pleated area that knive pleats give to generate that swish. Please define Kinguisse pleating. Is this where the centre pleat is a reversed box pleat with the rest knife pleats pointed toward the centre pleat such as my leather RKilt?
