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

I've got a Lady Chrystel Double Box. My kilt is beautifully made and comfy as can be and in Lancashire everybody looks at me oddly no matter what kilt I'm wearing so in my environment, being boxed isn't an issue. The majority of English folk wouldn't know the difference as a kilt is a kilt and they're all skirts to most.

I've also worn it in Scotland and I've had the schoolgirl's skirt comment there (in jest I presume) and that was from another kiltie. This would show I suppose, that it is a common opinion.

I care not a jot personally I like it and it's me wearing it and if I was sensitive to comments about the kilt or me being kilted, I'd be wearing trousers...

I do take the point however that in Scotland at least. Box pleats my be historic but they are not traditional (in the sense that tradition is a continuing practice of the accepted norm). The 8yd knife pleat really is king.
