The Kilt is a work of Art! Matt is a true Artist!

If all you are doing is ironing out the occasional wrinkle from your kilt, that's easy enough to do with a standard iron, wool setting, high steam. Lay the kilt out on your ironing board, and use the creases already pressed into the pleats as your guide. Really no magic trick to it.

Beautiful kilt.

Welcome to the Box Pleat Brigade.

Thanks John this is my second box pleat from Matt, the first was the Ulster Red I purchased from Woodsheal, and I am in line for a Carolina box pleat when Matt starts those. Oh yes there will be more box pleats.

That a beaut, Glen. It goes perfectly with those socks. I have a MOS by Barb T and it's a bright contrast to most of my kilts. I think Matt and I got that fabric from the same vendor. If his wait wasn't so long I might pull the trigger again.
