You're assuming that kilts in 16 oz wool are machine sewn? Never fear, wool kilts are best when hand sewn, and you could too do it, with normal eyes and fingers.

I had 4 yards of Weathered Ferguson double width, but one-half of it was used for the box-pleated kilt. The other half could make another box-pleated kilt for a slim individual.

It's odd, but even wearers of knife-pleated kilts look askance at a box-pleat wearer. Except the folks at the Ferguson clan tent, who dug out their cameras to photograph their "colors" in an interesting style variation.
