Muted Barclay kilt

My latest completion. A muted Barclay tartan kilt, four yard box pleated. I paired it with a nice pair of mustard colored Rannoch hose for the photo.

What number in your list of accomplishments is this kilt, Bro. Newsome?

Great work. Like the hose pairing too.

That is a very cool tartan! How faithful are the photo colors to the real deal?

And, why must my "wish list" always be so much longer than my "got list"?

It's a beauty! -Steve

Very close to the real thing in my opinion.

Matt,

Did you use one and a half setts per pleat, making it pleated to the sett? Its what you advised me a few years ago.

Beautiful kilt...even if I am a bit biased. Any chance I know the owner?

Nice work, Matt.

It's been a while since I did a formal count, but definitely somewhere north of 500.

The colors are fairly accurate. The physical item is a bit darker and more muted, in my opinion. The lighting in the picture made the tartan look brighter than it was, so I toned the color down a bit in the pic before I posted it.
