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.
