I too would advise that you use a longer length of any medium weight fabric - the box pleated kilts look better in something with a bit of gravitas - otherwise they could get a bit skirtish looking.

A box pleated heavyweight kilt looks very suave - and a double box pleat gets a double 0 rating, from me at least.

Now you need to decide if you are going for a continuous run of knife pleats or one of the Kingussie (mirror image) styles.
