Anticipation

Today I sent my 4 some yards of double width "Rob Roy Movie" clothe off to Matt Newsome. Its an early 50th birthday gift for me, from me.
He is going to make a traditional box-pleated kilt out of 1/2 the clothe.
I think it should look fantasic for this early style of tailored kilt, nice muted
colors. This will be my second tailored kilt, and my second box-pleat.
Here is a picture of the clothe.

Hi Morrison! I've had this clothe for 5 years and have worn it as a belted plaid. I wanted a new kilt and I had the clothe on hand so I did it.
I really like the colors and it should make a very nice box-pleat.
The older style the better for me.
I must say that I didn't get the clothe because of the movie, I purchased it for it's older look.

That's a beautiful tartan.

Beautiful tartan. I like the look of the belted plaid, but I once read an article on how one pleats and then dons the plaid, and after that, I thought it must be a pain to wear one--at least for a perfectionist like myself. Maybe one day I'll venture into the world of the Great Kilt, but I'm just too lazy for that right now :rolleyes:
