Box vs Knife Pleats

[OC Richard]

IIRC I was told years ago that Matt was taught by Bob Martin, who did box pleats based on his personal research.

Thanks, I'd heard of Bob Martin but I didn't recall that he was the one who revived and popularised that style.

Four yards for coolness and less weight, and 16oz cloth for durability, rather than more yards of lighter cloth.

That's my preference too, though my route is 6 yard knifepleated ordinary modern kilts in 16oz fabric.
