Kathy Lare of www.kathyskilts.com offers a military box pleat option.
Not to start any controversy, just to advise, apparently her box pleat is the the style she took special training for at the Keith Kilt School and may be a tad different than other kiltmakers.
Here's from her website about that:
"Returning to Scotland in May of 1999 she studied the unique crafting of the military box pleated kilt of the Scottish regiments and achieved an award in Traditional Handcraft Kilt Manufacturing. This professional development award paves the way towards becoming a Master Kiltmaker, which was almost a dying breed now in Scotland."
Kathy's a very genial lady and certainly happy to answer email or phone questions about her work.
And please folks, I'm only posting this as an option to the question asked, not to say her work is any better or worse than anyone else's.
Kathy has sewn up six kilts for me so far with one more on order. I highly reccomend her. And, like many other kiltmakers, when ordering a hand sewn kilt you only need make a half payment up front to acquire the material. The balance owed is paid when the kilt is complete and ready to ship. For me, that made addiction to hand sewn kilts easier.
