18oz regimental box pleat kilt

That's my worst fear !
BTW don't forget The Highland Light Infantry who wore the Mackenzie kilt in knife pleats.

This is all interesting. I have noticed that my Royal Reg't. kilt gets messed up fairly easy and friends with roll pleat in 16 oz have a dreadful time. That said, the 22 oz. of my old Cameron's Highlanders kilt kept an amazing rolled pleat. In 15+ years of owning it, I only pressed it once. Nathan, you have seen this kilt on Ewan.

My Nova Scotia Highlanders MacDonald tartan Regimental kilt is a 22oz one and it got pretty messed up after a long car ride, a gig, and an after party sitting on couches and playing the guitar. It also doesn't take well to being rolled and put in a duffel bag for transport the way a knife pleated kilt can in a pinch.

You can maintain them, I have and do, but they're certainly more work than the knife pleated variety in my opinion.
