If you fold a strip of paper into a Kingussie style then pull gently on the centre fold you will see that it will open out very easily. It is probably the style of kilt for a runner to wear as it would tend to flow behind him rather than fall against his legs.
I find that the Ghillie Kingussie normally flys up even less than a knife pleated kilt as the folds tend to wrap around the body.
'Ghillie' Kingussie?
