OK. Got 14 yards of Tartan, and Barbs book is ordered and on its way....

So why am I being encouraged by some members to box pleate rather than knife pleate my first kilt?

I don't understand the significance of one over the other, except the physical differences. Is one more authentic? Does it pleate better? hold the pleate better? hang better? Swing better?

I'm just to new to this kiltmaking hobby to know the subtlties.

Since this is my first Kilt project... and maybe my only one, I'd like to know what people think and to have list members weight in on this.

Many thanks,

Bart
