    Knife vs Box Pleat

    I've read that most box-pleated everyday kilts are made from 4 yards of material. What about knife-pleated everyday kilts? Does the knife pleating require more material (many I've heard of are 5 to 6 yards) to make a comfortable everyday kilt? or can I use just 4 yards of material to make a knife pleated kilt?

    Never mind... I re-did my search and found the answer.
