Matt, those are beautiful, but I'm wondering something. Would the tweed be more historically accurate than worsted wool, or is worsted how kilts were always made?
Either way, they look very handsome and makes me wish I had the money to get one.

Both. Most of your kilt cloth was a hard worsted tartan, historically, but tweeds have been popular at certain times, as well. They were much more popular in the nineteenth century than now, though I think they may be making a come back.
Aye,
Matt
