Those are wonderful Matt and you are an evil evil man

Can you make a knife pleated kilt for those who prefer that style?

Very handsome tartans, real class

Sure, I think any of those tweeds would do fine in a 5 or 6 yard knife pleated kilt. If anyone wants to have an 8 yard knife pleated kilt made, those can be ordered directly from Redshanks.

Those are some beautiful tweed tartans, Matt. Do you or anyone think the Macgregor Hunting looks somewhat like a Brown Watch with stripe?

Matt, you know that i have 3 kilts already in your order book and a swatch or two coming for perhaps another... so I'm thinking that offering these new tweed tartans must be part of the work in your Masters in Religion program...something on the lines of a paper on "How people deal with Temptation"...maybe a whole Masters thesis!

Those are beautiful!

As Matt has kindly stated, 8 yard knife pleat kilts in Harris Tweeds tartan are available from Redshank Scotland, despite what the naysayers state, the Harris tweed can be made into a knife pleated kilt.

For further info or sample swatches, please contact me, and I will oblige

Many thanks Matt

Why why why....just when I made up my mind!!!! Now I'll have to save for a tweed kilt with matching waistcoat and jacket...!

Very classy look

Yesterday there was a program on TV about Savile Row - about the gentlemen's outfitters there.

One of the men they followed went to the isle of Harris to buy tweed, and it was explained that the industry had been taken over and 'streamlined' so that there was no source of yarn from the original mill other than for the manufacture of a very limited range of tweeds.

I supose that the Harris tweed, being a narrow width, is not all that economical as a kilt fabric - but I could almost hope that someone might set up to weave kilt lengths of tweed material and create a new industry elsewhere.
