    I've never had a need to wash my box-pleats. I just hang them up when I'm done wearing them and let any wrinkles fall out on their own. I have ironed my knife-pleat, but I didn't baste it beforehand.

    I like box pleated kilts and have three at this point. It is a good question. Also, is it me, or are the creases not as sharp on the box pleat as on a knife pleat?
