Favorite Pleating Style

[YoungMan]

My search skills might not have been up to par, but I wanted to know what everyone's favorite pleating style was. Feel free to leave an explanation below. Why's are sure to vary.

Wow, I'm the first to vote! I like the sway of the knife pleats.

[Jock Scot]

I will go for the knife pleats too and for the same reason.

[Chas]

Knife pleats, for the simple reason that I have never consciously seen any of the other types (except in pictures).

I have no real preference. I have both knife pleated and box (and one double box) pleated kilts and like both styles. My next kilt will probably be in the Kingussie style.

Seeing as you own and have worn the fair spectrum, how would you compare knife pleats to the single and double box?

[KFCarter]

I prefer knife pleats for their weight and sway but I've seen some very beautiful, very tempting box and double-box pleated kilts here... one of these days I hope to own one or two of them.

I have both knife and box pleat kilts. I like them both and don't have a firm favorite. Need another box! I have been disenfranchised!

I have to say Knife simply because thatis all I have, although I do have a Kingussie on order frm Keltoi due hopefully in time for xmas. For some reason box pleats just don't seem to grab me visually as much, but then I do not own any personally and have only seen a few in person, and never worn one. So as others have spoken mine is based on linited experience with the traditional style.

I love the look of the military box pleating on the old kilts of the Cameron Highlanders and Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.

My "dream kilt" is a heavyweight Cameron of Erracht kilt, military boxpleated, with grass green binding.
