My tank arrived Friday, but I wasn't home to sign for it. Got it today, well inside the 8-12 week window posted on the STM website.

Quality appears to be A+ all around, I am not expert on these things. My fiance likes it, that's important. It is much nicer than my (much less expensive) off the peg knife pleated 5 yarder.

I get the difference between working directly with a kilt maker versus hiring someone to be a middleman between me and the actual kiltmaker. I understood that going in, I support the mission of the STM enough to deal with it. And I figure if anyone from the States has to call Scotland, Matt would be the guy to have make that call.

I am honestly itching to order a bias cut waistcoat while Loch Carron is still cutting from the same roll of cloth; but I would probably only wear it twice lifetime.

Also trotting out my new "Ancient blue" Lewis/ House of Cheviot hose in these pics. I struggle pairing green hose with a green kilt; some of the rabble carry it off beautifully, I don't appear confident pictured that way.

The yellow flashes co-ordinate well with the bridesmaid's dresses, I think I'll get some mileage out of them after the wedding too.

Satisfied customer, I guess I'll have to order another kilt in my clan red so my green hose don't go to waste.
