Another newbie here, glad to have found this site. Just a couple of questions to start off with:

1) I've always been a bit sensitive to wool, itch-wise, but have had no problem with wool suits that are finely woven and lined. Would I have a problem with a modern wool kilt or should I plan to stick to synthetic?

2) I read something just recently about the benefits of box pleats over the more common knife pleats and how box pleating requires less material to make a decent kilt. Any comments?

Thanks very much, any and all replies are welcome.
