Matt Newsome Box Pleated MapleLeaf Kilts
A while back I contacted Matt to make box pleated kilts for my wife and I out of 4 meters of Maple Leaf Tartan from Fraser and Kirkbright that I bought as a remnant a couple of years ago.
My wife's arrived on 24 December, just in time to give to her on Christmas Day. (She did not know about this.) Mine arrived just after New Years.
Today was a bright and sunny day and we wore them for the first time to Chapel on the Army Post at Garmisch, Germany. Our friends noticed pretty quick and we got lots of comments.
I took a snapshot when we got home. It is not the greatest picture, but you get the idea. I made the Maple Leaf Sporran myself. Another in the works for my wife. The sweaters were from a trip to Ireland a couple of years ago.

When we retire to Michigan later this year, we can wear them on the appropriate occasions.
Matt did a great job on the kilts.
