The military box pleat is different than Matts box pleats. It's almost like a stacked pleat. One side of the pleat is deeper than the other, almost like a knife pleat with both sides folded under. I know I'm putting this badly. Maybe Matt can describe it better. The pleats do stay in line better when sitting than knife pleats though.
My WPG Cameron is holding up great and in spite of the weight (it is a heavy bugger) it's surprisingly comfortable. I paid full price for mine and considered it a good deal so it's a great buy at the sale price. Be aware, this isn't the worsted wool we're used to, it's more like blanket fabric. It's very tight weave, 22 oz and quite warm.
One additional thing, these kilts are worn higher than civilian kilts so the 23 inch Black Watch should be fine for someone as short as 5'6". The Cameron is 24" so I wear it a bit higher and adjust for position on the knees. Works fine.
