    Yep, that's just about it. This one has knife pleats going all the way to the edge of each apron, aswell as one (very deep)reversed knife pleat under each apron, to make for a good hang. I'd also like to note that, because this kilt contains a full 6 yards (which is pretty much unheard of for a kingussie), the central box pleat overlaps on the inside.

    Thanks for that, but there is another thing that I still don't understand. Why can't you go the full 8 yards without a large central pleat or a central pleat overlap? It's essentially the same as a knife pleated kilt. More yards just means deeper pleats. I would have thought that anything that works for knife pleats would work for Kingussie pleats.
