    Mike,

    The kilt looks great! Glad to see you out and enjoying it. Mind if I use those pics in my gallery?

    And to those asking about the weight, 16 oz is my preferred weight of cloth for making box pleated kilts. Given that these kilts only use half the yardage of a typical kilt, it's the best of both worlds. You get all the advantages of using really nice heavy weight kilt cloth (fewer wrinkles, great hang, super durability, great feel to it, easier to work with), but you also get to enjoy a lighter, more comfortable kilt because it's only half the yardage.

    Aye,
    Matt
