I haven't seen a Kinguissie in wool, so I would be very interested to see how it drapes. Also haven't seen a Keltoi. If you're in the Vancouver area sometime, be sure to give us a call-out: I'm sure the local rabble would want to get a look at your kilt.
EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

Apparently I am next up - solidly in second place in the queue. Saw John on Saturday to be measured up for my box-pleated Maple Leaf. Very exciting! Also managed to place an order for Argyle hose (Campbell of Cawdor) in anticipation of the Toronto St. Andrew's Ball.
By the way, congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I have two adult daughters and I haven't done that with either one (and not likely to any time soon).

My box-pleated Maple Leaf arrived yesterday from John! Looks great, feels a litlle different with less fabric - a much lighter garment than I am used to. Hoping to make tomorrow a kilted Friday.
Pictures to follow.

Incredible fortune that you have ordered this, it is among the many "wish list" kilts of mine. I am most anxious to see the result, that is a beautiful tartan. Which mill did you get the tartan from?

My hoe ancient MacDonald kinguisse deluxe arrived from John today, Thursday just in time for my daughters wedding on Saturday. Also received the mat hinge argyle hose and garter ties and my custom L&M hunting sporran. Everything looks great, sorry no pictures yet to many things going on. I will try and post pictures next week after all the festivities, I should be an attractive bauble on my daughters arm

The tartan is a 16oz Lochcarron Strome. The colours are great and the box pleats hang beautifully!

First attempt at uploading pictures. The colour quality is less than stellar - I used the iPad:

I know there is a segment of this community who gets quite bothered about "nice kilt" posts. Begging their pardon I have to say this is a gorgeous looking kilt. I have seen a number of different examples of the Maple Leaf posted here but this is the first time I have seen a box pleated version. I do not own a an 8 yard, 16 oz kilt so I don't have a fair basis of comparison, but I do really like my box pleats. This looks very nice. For the nay sayers on box pleats, I have to say this is a great example of the pleating method.
Enjoy in good health John!
