    I've decided not to bother too much about matching,I blame Jock

    The hose are (if I remember correctly) brick red from John at Keltoincant remember who made them tho.

    Oh I do understand! I don't concern myself much with that, either. I blame my grandmother, and for a similar reason to you blaming Jock! However, I do like to match some time. A nice forest green pair of hose can really set off my Colorado state tartan kilt.

    Looks very nice. I also found that the communication was excellent, and of course Chrystel's work to be superb.
    The details are all perfect, placement of beltloops, the depth of the pleats, overall finishing--wonderful. The left buckle is a little different, but it works fine. As you say, the movement of a box pleat is different, and a double box pleat, different again. Welcome to the club!
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.
