Newsome "Philabeg" in Tweed

[Woodsheal]

The excellent tweed kilts thread in the traditional forum reminds me that I've never posted photos of this particular kilt.

Made by Matt Newsome, it's a late 18th C. style philabeg ("little kilt"), meaning: box-pleated to the random (neither to the sett or stripe), non-tapered (waist size and length being the only measurements in play), no (visible!) buckles & straps.

The tartan is Grant/Drummond:

And the fabric is 18 oz. Harris tweed, wonderful hard-wearing stuff!
