I agree with you about the pleats. I can't imagine that thin nylon could ever be made to hold a crisp, defined pleat. This is one of those kilt like garments that's totally purpose built and not meant for fashion in any way. That's probably the reason it didn't even have pleats for so long. I'd never own one as it's not for me (there are much better looking contemporary kilts out there), but it's cool to see a major well respected outdoor gear company making a kilt-ish thing. I'd bet it's extremely comfortable when hiking in the summer.
