Box pleats all the way round? Hmmmm......
Interestingly enough, all the true kilts from this company have knife pleats. They produce a range of casual kilts in solid colours, curiously the only tartan they do is Buchanan.
The only box pleat garments they produce are pleated front and back. They are honest enough to call their range Kilts and Skirts for men. It does at least have a stitched down fell, which is more than can be said about some of so-called "budget kilts". My purpose in buying this was to obtain a box-pleat "kilt" as none of the quality kiltmakers in Scotland seem to do box pleats. Certainly at just £57 it won't go wrong for casual wear. In fact the only box pleated true kilt which I can ever recall seeing was on a visiting x-marker from USA. My Hunter Green box pleat has featured previously in a few of my travel threads on x-marks, maybe the matching sporran made it look more convincing:-
