I'm not sure if you want organ pipe pleating or rolled pleats
documentation, but if it is the former, the Metropolitan Museum of Art
has a military base which is organ pipe pleated (Early 16th century).
Blanche Paynes "History of Costume" has a discussion and a pattern for
it. I've spent some time looking for an earlier word for them, but have
not come up with it in English or German. The English word only goes
back to to about 1890. The current German word Röhrenfalten doesn't
appear in Grimm's etemological dictionary. I have queried both Leo
online forums (back in March 05) and non-current German forum (just today):
If you find anything, I'd sure like to hear about it.

Has anyone on the list managed to find any examples of organ-pipe (rolled)...
