    Matt:

    I wore my box pleat (to red stripe) to an event last week and got lots of positive feedback.
    Everyone thought the tartan was amazing.

    Matt: Beautiful work! My favorite is the first - pleated to the red stripe. What a cornucopia of color. I won't be able to get that tartan out of my mind.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Very smart, Matthew, excellent work. I have to join the consensus and say that pleating to the red stripe makes for a very vibrant kilt.

    The kilt arrived today, and I'm just overwhelmed. Matt's impeccable artistry in its making is, perhaps sadly, not remotely surprising to me by now. Honestly, I wanted it more for the history-relevant significance. (And kudos again to Peter MacDonald for all his work in the resurrection of the tartan!) But I have to say that even Matt's photos did not prepare me for how beautiful this fabric is. It's just incredibly lovely. Pics, hopefully, this weekend.


    EDIT: In the meantime, here's a shot of the apron showing the sett pattern:

    Dale: Stunning tartan. Congratulations on your acquisition. Can't wait to see the pics, especially if they're in an outdoor setting - the ones for which you are justifiably famous.
