Thought I'd chime in and give my opinion. Wally Catanach (ChattanCat), of Waterfall Kilts, is an engineering professor at Penn State. He's done four kilts for my family, and I take what he says as dead serious. I'm no kilt maker, so I can't really discuss the intricacies, but making a kilt is all about math, and who better to tackle this than an engineer. Wally knows his stuff!

To be sure, Matt is awesome, too, but I've not had the opportunity for a Newsome kilt, yet. I can only speak for what I've seen.
