Low yardage box pleat vs higher yardage knife pleats

[ShaunMaxwell]

Here's my 4-yard box pleat in Maxwell hunting (to the double stripe):



Here's my 8-yard Maxwell modern (to the sett):



To echo Tobus' comments, my low-yardage box doesn't really swing (but my 8-yard sure does!). That said, the box-pleat is much lighter and probably a bit more comfortable. Both are 16 oz. wool.
