    It looks like a very nice pressing job actually, just that when they went to press they turned the pleats in the other direction. And, I'm thinking that while Seaforth kilts may be box pleated, that this kilt was not, and is pleated to the white stripe instead.

    It's easy enough to re-press. Just get it damp, realign the pleats properly and press.

    If it is military box pleats ( most likely given the history) there is no reason why it couldn't have been pleated to the white stripe and box pleated, they are not mutually exclusive
