I'm in the process of making my first kilt and I've been debating whether or not to make it a box pleated one. I'm in a conservative area and I'm not too sure how everyone will react to the whole "hey that guy's in a kilt" concept. I'm doubly unsure about making a box pleat. Personally I recognize it as a kilt and I think it looks cool, but can it be interpreted as a skirt? What responses have you guys gotten from wearing a box pleat as opposed to a knife pleat? Prior to coming to XMarks I didn't have the slightest clue that a box pleated kilt existed. How does a box pleated kilt swing when compared to a knife pleated kilt?

Thanks,
James
