2) I read something just recently about the benefits of box pleats over the more common knife pleats and how box pleating requires less material to make a decent kilt. Any comments?

Thanks very much, any and all replies are welcome.

Since the wool is potentially an issue, I'd stick to synthetics rather then spending extra $$$ for a kilt you might not be comfortable in. Box pleats are a matter of taste.

We have quite a few kilt wearers in the Bay Area. If you join us for the monthly kilt night on the peninsula, you'll find box, knife pleats and everything in between on display.

Best regards,

Jake
