    I wish you the quickest delivery. What did you decide for a kilt? Box vs. knife pleat, and sett or stripe?
    I thought with box-pleated kilts being Matt's specialty, and him being the designer of the XMarks tartan, that it seemed appropriate that this (first?) one be box-pleated. I did order 4 meters of double-width cloth, so the possibility of a second knife-pleated casual is there.

    Going by the pictures Steve posted here, I had wanted it pleated to the gray stripe. Matt told me that wouldn't work with the box pleat, so the kilt will be pleated to the yellow stripe.

    That should look sharp! I was debating between pelating to the yellow and grey myself (opted for grey).

    Hey,

    I wound up with some extra, posted to the for sale forum. Don't know if its enough to do much with other than accessories, or make an X Marks flag, or scarfs...
