That's going to be one very, very nice kilt. You are a lucky man.
Yeti, thanks for the picture fix.

Nice plaid, eh? Just for reference, the Hunting Mackinnon was for years the choice of the Hudson's Bay Co. dressing gowns. I grew up with one not knowing it was my own 'family's' tartan!

Has anyone on the forum ever posted photos and reviews of a double box-pleated kilt? I'm very interested in how this style holds up in normal usage.

Now that's a way to get the full kilt "swish" with a box pleat! I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

WooHoo, more MacKinnon's on the board. I am also looking forward to how it comes out. I have a 8 yard tank in MacKinnon Hunting ancient....

Not a kilt, but a kilted skirt... Eleven months ago, Wompet took some pics of a double box pleat kilted skirt owned by a family member. Maybe he could post one or two. Or, with his permission, I could.
