FYI -
The military box pleat is, indeed, an entirely different pleating style than a regular box pleat. The line drawing below gives an indication of the difference. A military box pleat kilt is essentially knife-pleated, with the knife-edge turned back to show the vertical stripe. It produces a heavy and totally awesome kilt. It also requires a lot more work than a regular box pleat or a standard knife edge pleat.
I have a kilt length of Weathered MacLaren and my intention is to build it into a military box pleat kilt sometime this year.
