I think that USA Kilts "Premium", well as J Higgins, and Gaelic Themes/St Kilda Kilts all do the pleats the same way: each pleat is machine-stitched on the reverse (back side) then flipped over.
So there's no visible stitching; both sides of each pleat are seams.
Beyond that common point, there's a range of possible looks according to how straight, even, and consistent the pleats are sewn.
I've seen one Gaelic Themes/St Kilda Kilts kilt up close and the pleats were perfection: all exactly the same width and rate of taper, and each seam being dead-straight.
My J Higgins kilt not so much.
