Box versus Knife Pleats

[Liam]

I too have both. The 8 yd knife pleat kilts rarely need any repressing or steaming, while the 4 yd box pleats need the occasional bit of attention if you are sitting a lot. A 4-5 yd knife pleat kilt also similar issues. The box pleat kilt uses about half the amount of material as the 8 yd kilt and therefore is less expensive and lighter. I like both styles, although if I were to chose only one it would be the 8 yd knife pleat.
