Here are some pics comparing box pleats to military box pleats. Hope these help.


Here are the box pleats you have seen - basted up at about 2 1/2 inces wide. See how few there are to cover my skinny backside. This is a 4-yard kilt.



The left side of this pic shows the depth (about 2 inches) and reveals (about 1 inch) of a military box pleat kilt. I needed all 8 yards of tartan for this kilt and about 21-22 of these much narrower pleats.



The following was posted by Panache - pics at a kilt night where Alan H was wearing his California tartan box pleat kilt (4th pic) and I was wearing my Weathered MacLaren military box pleat kilt (5th pic). The differences are quite distinct, but each is a kilt, each has its place, and everyone has preferences.

Now, if you ask again...


I'll drive down to Arizona with my whole kollection (threaten, threaten)




BTW - did you mean to buy a box pleat from Matt or an MBP from me?
