I've been doing some experimenting with contrasting pleat backs myself recently: doing the whole of the back of the pleat seems too much and has the issue of the join in fabric being on the edge of the pleat ... especially messy at the sewn down end. In fact I had quite given up on using contrast fabric in knife pleats in favour of using it on the back of box pleats instead. This pic will give me more food for thought ... thanks!

Today is 7th April you are 7 days late.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
