    My box pleat is actually a double box, and it's made from 16oz wool tartan. I have had no problems at all maintaining the pleats. As a matter of fact, I find that they require less care than my knife pleats. When I get into the car, I find that it's actually much easier to sweep the pleats.

    I have a Matt Newsome box pleated kilt and I have not found it any different, by way of creasing, to a 8 yard knife pleated kilt. Both are 16oz wool
    Only last weekend I wore it whilst driving home from a Highland games. The drive was 2.5 hrs. I hung it up after getting home and in the morning it looked fine

    My brother has a MILITARY box pleat kilt and he says the pleats in that are tough to manage. Perhaps that is what he is thinking of.
