"So...from what earliest date to what latest date (before it nearly disappears only to be revived recently) would one expect to see the four yard box pleated kilt being worn."
Not before Tuesday and never after Sunday.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

All right, you have convinced me. The box pleated kilt is not traditional, it is a modern, historical revival style of kilt.
Thanks Wizard.

Ted, In my rather traditionalist opinion it is the fabric and the tailoring that define the traditional kilt, rather than the pleating. I hope that completely confuses you!

All right then, it is both a traditional kilt and a modern, historical revival style kilt, but only when being worn with a sporran, where the sporran is located in the front and center.
Guess that makes sense...
