    I knew OC Richard would know.

    I can see the box pleats pretty good in the bottom photo, but its hard to tell in the top one. If Pakistani kilts are not done that way, they still look kinda similar to the bottom photo. They certainly don't look like tight knife pleats you typically see on Scottish knife pleats. But maybe they're just so much bigger ? Hard to say..........

    They don't mind copying copy-protected Tartan designs, so why don't they copy the pleating style ? Would acrylic not hold the crease well enough to pull it off ?

    Pakistani made kilts are knife pleated, at least mine are, as you can see on the photos:







    The fabric may not allow for as crisp pleats as in my best Scottish wool kilts.
