Box versus Knife Pleats

[shamrock715]

Matt,

If I were ordering a new kilt today, it would probably be high yardage and box pleated. This is a bit hard to describe, but due to the overlap the box pleats “solidify” the fabric and it doesn’t hang as loosely as the unidirectional knife pleating. This can be especially useful in the wind.

What I'm reading out of this is that the box pleat can be better in the wind with less blowing around but it doesn't seem that it restricts movement at all. Am I reading that right?

Thanks,
Matt
