Iowa kilt, by Newsome
Here are the first photos of my new box-pleated kilt by Matt, in the Iowa state tartan (ancient colours). The photos were taken at the site of the ancestral farmstead in Wright County, Iowa, about 5 miles SE of Clarion, the county seat:
Apologies for the wrinkles in the pleats! Blame it on the car seats.
And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I am wearing a Freelander sporran, the best sporran on the market. 
Matt's kilts are truly a work of art and quality! I am very satisfied and a "box-pleat convert".
Cheers, 
Todd

WOW. That is a nice looking kilt and you look really happy in it!
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Looking good, Todd! That is a very nice looking tartan and I'm very pleased with the way the kilt turned out.

Actually, I've got my "Civil War reenactor" face on -- no smile. Old habits are hard to break. :mrgreen:
Matt's kilts are a joy to wear. I really can't say enough about how satisfied I am with his work -- and I would have never been able to have ordered the Iowa tartan for a standard 8 yd. knife pleat kilt.
The kilting community is very fortunate to have Matt's talent and abilities.

Well Todd, we have a common ground that we can both agree on.
We both believe the kilt is lovely.
Box pleats look good on you.

That is indeed a nice tartan. And, as always, Matt's work is incredible!

Yes, the lighter weight box-pleated kilts have many fine, if different, qualities to recommend them. Especially, they are a treat to wear during the hotter times of the year, and they are still recognized as kilts by everyone who sees them.
The kilt looks great - it even makes you look presentable.
