    There is a saying in engineering (which I use more in the reverse sense to test if I need to do more work) - if it looks right it is right - so if your box pleats look right, then no worries.

    In the photo of the green kilt you do seem to be wearing it a bit down in front - which might be why the large pleat beneath the apron is rolling outwards, and there are horizontal creases beneath the belt buckle.

    The pleats rely on a straight waistline to hang properly, but that does look to be a rather nice kilt. Do you know what the fibre content of the fabric is?

    You did realise that there are perfectionists on this forum?

    It fell while turning to have the picture taken, I have since remedied the waistline issue(me). As far as the fibre content, it is 100% cotton.
