===Pleats===
The pleats face up because they were originally used to hold ticket stubs and similar items,<ref name="Bridges">Bridges, John (2008). ''How to be a Gentleman: A Timely Guide to Timeless Manners'' Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson.</ref>{{Page needed | date = November 2013}} explaining the slang name 'crumb-catcher'. However, the cummerbunds worn as part of the [[Uniforms of the United States Army|US Army]] Blue Mess and Blue Evening Mess uniforms are worn with the pleats down, as prescribed by Army Regulation 670–1 Chapter 24 Section 10(b).  The [[Uniforms of the United States Navy|US Navy Uniform]] Regulations NAVPERS 15665 stipulate the cummerbund be worn with the pleats up for the Navy Dinner Dress Jacket.
