Box or Knife pleats

[Kid Cossack]

Yup, no box pleat fans here, eh?

I'll echo MacWage and Tattoo Bradley---I like and in fact prefer box pleated kilts, for a number of reasons: historical accuracy, lower cost (for an equivalent kilt), lighter weight, better balance, cleaner looks and a way to differentiate yourself from "all those other guys" who wear knife pleats.

I finally got a 16 ounce kilt in, and I really like the difference in material compared with the 13 ounce kilts I have.

Okay, for those of you who do have box pleated kilts, what weight fabric is better? Or is there one? I think I'm leaning to 16oz for the added weight.
