Questions on the Newsome 4yrd Box Pleat or 8yrd Knife Pleat?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

My only comment here, seeing as how I don't own any 'good' kilts at all and can't really say anything about the way a box-pleat feels, is that a sporran is absolutely essential with a box-pleat, at least to my eye.

I would assume that you'd want to wear a sporran with your kilt no matter which pleating style you prefer....
