    Here is the link to the post by The F-H.C.A.G.. She correctly identifies the "box pleats" as "military box pleats", two completely different pleating styles. A military box pleat is a knife pleat with the final inch turned back to reveal the stripe. The box looks shallow on the left side because it is only an inch deep, but on the right side the depth is several inches as in a standard knife pleat.

    It's good to know these are now being made and distributed commercially, outside the "reproduction" niche.
