Daaaaang is dead on. Kathy Lare went back to the Keith Kilt School in Scotland to learn specifically how to do the "official" military box pleats.
Can't hurt to call her or email her and discuss what you want. www.kathyskilts.com
She's hand sewn over 1,000 kilts and being a military family many of them have been of various military tartans and types of pleating...think her website has more info.
I wanted my RAF tartan kilt done with military box pleats, but she actually advised against it for a number of reasons instead of just taking the money and doing it. She'll tell you straight.
I own eight of her hand sewn kilts. Because of her quality workmanship.
She's in Albuquerque, N.M. No clue where you are...may work for or against connecting with her.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
