Burnetts & Struth is advertising a sale on their casual kilts. They have tartans in both 13 and 16 oz wool, but in communication say that they generally use only 2 meters double width (i.e., about 4 meters single width) on most of them, and that they must have knife pleats rather than box pleats.

Does anyone have one of these---or other's---16 oz wool kilt with knife pleats yet only about 4 meters of material? Is this satisfactory? I am guessing it would hang more like a schoolgirls' skirt than a kilt.
