Choice of a cartridge pleat heading makes the most of the checked design of this denim fabric and was an informal heading for a boy’s bedroom.

Each pleat was formed at the same point across the horizontal repeat to complement the fabric’s design. Pleating to the design of the fabric is only possible with hand made headings.
