Won this 6m of saffron material over the weekend: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...lenotsupported

So here's my quandary? Have it made into a 5yd (6yd) knife pleat, a box pleat, or a double box pleat?

Beautiful material. I think it would look great in a double box pleat.

Go for the Double Box. I think it'll look sweet with the saffron material.

I'd go double-box. But that may just be because I'm really wanting one of those.

Double box pleat.

Since I already have a length of that cloth from that supplier I can tell you what I am going to do with mine, double box.

It should look great when it is finished.

I voted double box and then remembered you are in the southern part of the states. You might consider just the box pleat so you can wear it year round.

I voted for a Box Pleat for the same reason. I'm really lusting after a double-box but 18 oz. wool and the coastal North Carolina climate to me just scream 4 yard box pleat.

Either way it's going to be a garment to be proud of.

Box pleat. Its distinctive and simple.
My "end all, be all" kilt will be a double box pleat from Lady Christel. So I view them as being super extra special.
Either way, great buy & enjoy the end result!
