I, in fact, have a kilt like this. It's my newest kilt, box pleated, made from six yards of cloth.
First, That is a fantastic looking kilt, Matt. Which tartan is that please?

But Specific to Military Box Pleats I was told by one kilt maker that these are constructed with elastic inside to keep the pleats aligned. Is this specific to them or common amongst military box pleats?
