    Kingussie pleats go both ways. So do box pleats now that I think of it.

    Which pleats should you wear if you're a virgin?

    Honestly, that is the most rediculous thing I've heard. Thanks for sharing that one, and I believe you have met a truly ignorant fool. People make up the silliest things.

    Without going to my closet, don't the knife pleats "face" the right anyway? I sweep them towards the right....I think. So, then, what even was he talking about?

    oh come now xman, you are just being silly

    Can you even imagine how expensive kilting would be if we had to change our pleats to establish our current stages of life!? Good gracious, I can't even affordable the few kilts I want, let alone change the pleat stylings....

    Thanks for all of the responses! I figured that if anyone could debunk such a statement, it'd be you guys It felt like such an odd statement to me ("You're not gay because you're wearing a kilt, you're gay because your pleats are backwards" said the strangely OCD redneck) but once I actually took a look at my friends' kilts, it seemed to me that the direction my pleats faced was less common, so I wondered. The multiple explanations I've received (getting into a car on the right, the formal dinner butt slide, left-handed kiltmakers) have been very informative. I now have a reason instead of a shrug and a "Because." Thanks everyone!

    No such thing of course, but I'm sure you mean Reverse Kingusie. Quite logical really.

    I can picture an inverted box pleat. To tell thev difference from. A normal box pleat, you'd need to look around the apron. The apron. On thebvinverted pleat, the apron would attach to the backside of the pleat instead of the frontside.
