What Matt said about the total material weight I've recently had opportunaty to witness myself!

A week ago, my girlfriend just got a 16 oz box pleated kilt skirt, made by Matt.

She also has an 11 oz knife pleated kilt skirt made by USAKilts last winter.

Having seen her 'move' in both, the 16 oz box pleat swishes about the same as the 11 oz knife pleat. Both skirts weigh about the same even though the knife pleat has a bit more yardage in the pleats. The match-up in swish has more to do with the material weight than the pleat style.

I can add a bit more to that.
I have a 5 yard 16 oz from USAKilts, and a new, 4 yard 16 oz box pleat from Keltoi. I haven't asked, and no one has ventured to mention it, but both kilts 'feel' like they move about the same.
