:beer:I don't have yet one of his kilts, but surely I will raise my glass for him for his contribution to the forum!! :beer:

Thanks Matt. Visiting you and ordering my 16 oz Macneil of Barra (ancient), in person, a couple of years ago has been one of the highlights of my kilted life.

Here's to Matt - Number 200!

I don't have a Matt Newsome Box Pleat yet, but I did buy my 16 oz Ancient Lamont tank from him.

Here's to you Matt

int:, thanks for all of the good tips, color matching advice and great conversation we've had over the past few years.

There are many well dressed kilties in this part of the woods who rely on Matt for advice and kilt goodies.

Had I only known about Matt and his box pleats! I keep looking at the knife-pleated MacNeil of Barra I just received from Scotland and thinking of how beautiful it would be in box pleats...oh well...there's a project for Matt in the works, once I decide on the tartan...

Cheers, Matt!

As the owner of two Newsome kilts, I raise my glass in his honor.

wearing my Dove tartan kilt and holding my German National kilt, both made by Matt. Also wearing my new Ferguson sporran (eat your heart out Panache

).

Hear hear!

A swish of the pleats and a thank you for finding and stocking the Lewis Kilt Hose and Traditional Garter Ties to which I am so gravely addicted.

Tonight I shall be wearing my ancient MacLachlan. I've finally received my accesories to compliment this kilt and have a venue to show it off. Then my new James MacMillan knitted flashes arrive so I might try a pair of them on also.

Note to self (1): Perhaps Mr. Tibbles is getting lonely knawing at the steel bars of his cage night after night. I wonder if David would like his trained attack badger to sleep in Herald Dove's quarters for some company, or at least something new to chew on.

Note to Self (2): Restock First Aid kit on the Herald's wing of the Great Golden Hall of X Marks the Scot

Cheers

Awww, Mr. Tibbles is a good badger, aren't you Mr. Tibbles. Does'um want another badger treat. Yes he does. And Mr. Tibbles likes to have his ears scratched, don't you Mr. Tibbles. Who's a good badger.
