To echo others in this thread: I wore my new Newsome box-pleat kilt to our St. Andrew's Society's annual Bannockburn Ball this weekend, and I was very impressed with how "cool" it really was with the formal "rig". It was a very humid evening, and the venue is located on the banks of the Finley River, but I could certainly tell a difference from my 8-yd. Hector Russell kilt.

Like others here, I've become a bit of a box-pleat convert. Matt's kilts are worth every penny.

Cheers,

Todd
