A slightly delayed review of my new Lady Chrystel box pleat kilt.
Unfortunately due to a series of incidents including burning my hand and writing off my car (and a little bit of snow!) this is the first time I have been able to type a review for this kilt which arrived In November.
First up dealing with Lady Chrystel was great either she or Robert answered all of my email's quickly and both were very happy to answer my questions.
My kilt arrived when I was told it would and fit perfectly. It took a little while to get used to the different buckle arrangement, having one on the left of the under apron threw me a little at first but it is a fantastic way to do it and of course this being my first box pleat kilt it swings a little differently than a knife pleat.
But these are minor differences and the overall quality of work and construction that went into the kilt is fantastic. Unfortunately there are no photos of it out and about due to my hand being slung up at the time but it drew lots of good compliments.
One good thing about the delay in this review is that I have had lots of time to wear my newest kilt out and about and it is well received where ever I go. I did a little shopping just before Christmas and while I discovered that -16 Celsius is a little cold, the rest of the time a box pleat is a little light weight for proper winter that's really the only time I've been cold.
This kilt has fast become my favourite and has had a lot of wear in the past two months. I look forward to getting another kilt from Lady Chrystel in the future
Without further ado some photos.
Sorry about the photos I had to take them myself.
