I suppose the heart of the question is: Is it worth an additional $250, or am I gonna get any strange looks wearing box pleats at..say...a highland games? I was a pipe drummer for a time, and have never worn a box pleated kilt, or anything other than an 8 yard traditional for that matter.

From one "bluff old traditionalist" to another, whilst I too, want a KA kilt with the Royal Warrant, I also want one of Matt's kilts. I don't think anyone at the games who knows what box pleats are is going to look down their nose at you -- if anything, you might actually get some complements and mabye even a wee bit o' jealousy!

Have you considered Burnett & Struth's in Canada? They have manufactured kilts before for HRH the Duke of Rothesay (Prince Charles).
