Kersey
A wool cloth that is usually coarse and ribbed. Sky blue kersey was originally designated for use only with the Federal artillery. However, it was widely used for trousers throughout the Federal Army's artillery, infantry, and cavalry in place of the higher-quality, more tightly woven, more expensive dark blue wool trousers that remained available upon request to officers in the Federal Army after the War began.
Kick Pleats
Similar to box pleats but the folds do not butt together at the back, making the pleats further apart.
Knife Pleats
A row of folds all in the same direction.
