Pleat types

[cloves]

I believe the whole point of rounded barrel pleats is so that you don't have to press them.

now that's thinking! Anything I don't have to iron gets high marks from me.

Wash 'n wrinkle, er... wear...

I have a copy of Bob Martin's book, but there are no illustrations. Must be an earlier issue. I'm not even sure where I got it, but I have had it for several years.

I saw some pictures of a barrel pleated kilt online some place... It looked like round tartan tubes hanging off the back. Each pleat looked about an inch or two around with a white stripe down the middle.

Looked very, well, strange. I don't know how it is done for sure.

In the book "All About Your Kilt" by Bob Martin, there is a picture of a barrel (pipe) pleat on page 15. It is rather an interesting look.
