I received a box pleated kilt from Keltoi earlier in December, and I find the pleats on that kilt are much easier to sweep when sitting and look nicer after travelling or sitting than those on my knife pleat (which I picked up around a week ago).

As someone entirely new to kilting, I'd say that from my point of view at least, a box pleat is better proposition for a regular daily wear kilt because of how much lighter and easier it is to deal with.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John at Keltoi - great prices, excellent quality AND first class customer service (whaddaya reckon about that Ron? Who says you can't have all three?!?!?)
