Guys (and gals),

I am making a cotton kilt out of some of The Scottish Weaver's cotton material, namely in Carolina tartan. It is supposedly 11 or 12 oz. I was wondering how well it holds a pleat. I would prefer making a box pleat (as it would look better for my purposes), BUT am unsure of it would hold the pleats well enough. I DO NOT want to re-iron them every cleaning. Otherwise, I will be making the material into a side/knife pleat, as these are easier to re-iron/press.

What is ya'll's experieces with this material?

Thanks in advance!
