Hi all,
Are cartridge pleats and organ pleats the same thing? That's what
Janet Arnold says in PoF, and I'm inclined to believe her. Actually,
I'm looking for the French term: I found "plis canon(s)" and "plis
en tuyaux d'orgue" (though I'm wondering if that isn't a direct
translation from English). I still haven't found a good source for
this, they're absent from every specialized lexicon I've looked at
so far. Seems my sources are too recent, I can only find box pleats,
knife pleats and the likes! No "open" pleats.
Thanks for any help!

I think they are different. Cartridge pleats are "tubes" = roughly
the same thickness throughout, similar to a cartridge holder on a
man's belt. Organ pleats, in my opinion, taper towards the top in the
same way as an organ pipe does. At least that is how I have always
defined them in my mind.
