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!

John's quality and service is top shelf.

Spot on there mate.....My hunting weathered Mackintosh from John is hands down my favourite kilt. It's built like a sherman tank. He also went the extra mile (on his own dime I might add) to get it to me in time for my sisters wedding last year.

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!

Wow, it's beautiful. I have a box pleat and really enjoy it. First time for me to see the maple leaf in box pleat and it looks incredible. Well done. And kudo's to Mr. Hart.

Thanks, John! For the review within another (pending) review!

The claret hose look quite good with the Maple Leaf.
