How Many Years in the Switch from Box to Knife Pleat?

[Bugbear]

That was actually useful, to me, going through all that discussion. It drove home that pleating to the sett is quite a change in itself, and only came about at the end of the changes from box to knife pleating. Sounds like a little over a hundred years ago, yet pleating to the sett seems to have become regarded as traditional for civilian kilts.

It leaves me wondering if there have been more or fewer changes in Highland attire over the last hundred years than in the eighteen-hundreds?

I almost want to say there have been fewer changes.
