I have my doubts that they would make you a box pleated kilt, ask a Scot about box pleated kilts and all you will get is a puzzled look. I am not saying that a knife pleated kilt is better, what I am saying is that I have never seen a box pleated kilt, for real, to compare. Few of us over here have. Now that might be saying something, or it might not.
sounds like you need to get your hands on one ;)
