Either I'm getting old, or losing parts of my mind, or both! It finally occurred to me to measure the sett size and pleat depths on the military box pleated 16 oz MacLaren Weathered kilt I just finished. The sett is 6 7/8 inches; the measured pleat depth is two inches. The "swish" factor, as noted on its last outing, is perfectly fine.
Below is a clickable thumbnail.
My conclusion is that the XMarks tartan from this weaving run will make up beautifully into a military box pleated kilt.
