'Kingussie' Pleated

[M. A. C. Newsome]

You can make a Kingussie kilt from 4 to 5. yards of cloth only for most sized men.

Regarding barrel pleating, the following is from Bob Martin's All About Your Kilt:

Barrel Pleat -- a military term. Also termed piped pleat or cane pleats. This pleat when first sewn looks like a knife pleat. The pleats are then reversed, laid the opposite direction on the inside, and tacked down, thus forming on the outside a twist where the pleat falls free. The pelats thus formed are soft tubes remaining unpressed. To get ready for parade or inspection, the soldier would run a "cane" up each pleat and, with a hot watered brush, brush out the flattened pleats, forming once again the "barrel" appearance.
