Which is best kilt for daily/driving wear

[Highlander31]

MacMillan of Rathdown recently did a thread on his new Kingussie kilt. According to MoR, it's very comfortable.

....because of the way in which the pleats radiate out from the centre of the kilt, it is incredibly comfortable when seated....

Here's the link to the thread. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...newsome-66515/

Like Nighthawk said, a 16oz wool fabric will pretty much pull all but the worst crumpling out by itself. While I don't have one in any kind of tartan(yet), box pleats seem to be the easiest to lay flat under the backside in my experience, but that is mostly because they tend to be much wider than knife pleats and Kingussie pleats. As far as comfort while seated goes, I can't say that I see much difference between any pleating types. They all beat p@nts though!

Although I don't currently wear one, I think I would put in a pitch for a 16oz box pleat kilt. I suspect that would be easier on the 'seat' than even a Kingussie. Perhaps others can weigh in.

That was precisely my thought. I do own a box-pleated kilt, and I find that it is the most comfortable kilt I have for sitting.
