Matt's box-pleat specials

Matt had his special on box-pleats recently. I couldn't resist-saw the Isle of Man tartan and placed my order.

It should make a different and beautiful kilt.

Well done David. I snatched up the MacLauchlan. McMurdo grabbed another. That makes at least three Newsomes coming to the forum.
David did you get a time frame of when yours will b complete? I believe you are above me in the list.

Don't forget my Perthshire District he's making for me.

I have two on order myself

One in that regimental weight Leslie, another in weathered MacPherson. Cloth I procured, and it met Matt's approval, which I was very happy about.

I really thought I was making a pretty nice kilt until I got the first one from Matt. Then I realized that I better not quit my day job, and just buy the kilts from Matt.

That should certainly be a beautiful kilt! Good choice!

You won't be disappointed.
I own a Newsome X marks and the Newsome Sackett - both works of art.

I'll be putting an order in within the month for a 4-yard knife pleat in Barclay muted, so there's another.

I remembered that just as I was re-checking this thread.

You already know about Matt's fine handiwork.
Since Grant counts best in base nine, and that's nine Newsomes mentioned already, I'll bow out now.

I am very excited as it's my first Newsome. I've heard nothing but good things about his work and from the pics I've seen, they really are "works of art." It's a gift from the wife for Christmas and should come around the first of December I believe. Should be some nice kilted Christmas pics too!
