Matt Newsome Rob Roy Box-Pleat

I really like the un-business of a box pleated kilt. Knife pleated kilts seem too busy with all those pleats. Such a good clean look in a box-pleat.

Very nice looking kilt DW. And I will have to echo others comments, a box pleat kilt is wonderful. A little lighter and more balanced, but great swing, and actually seems to hold up better to wear without ironing than a knife pleat.

David,

Thanks for sharing the pics, and thanks for the compliments. Your Rob Roy cloth was some of the softest I had worked with, and I know it must feel great to wear.

Oh, and Andy, the wait won't be too much longer. I started on your kilt today, so you should have it soon after the new year.

Aye,
Matt

That DOES look great. It's making me fiend for my Matt Newsome made kilt even more. Mine should be here about the middle of January.

A sharp looking tartan David,

Seeing you standing in front of the woods it just occured to me that if the Virginia troops had worn kilts in the War Between the States they'd surely have chosen a tartan close to those colors.
