Louisiana Tartan Kilt--Kingussie Pleated

[artificer]

Thanks for the pics, Jamie! Can't wait to see it a little more dressed up, too. I hope it was a hit with your class.

Matt, shouldn't that be a "touch" with his class? Unless, of course, he's fighting sabre, in which case it could be a slash as well.

I'm reposting the first pic and the youtube link, because they weren't appearing in the OP.

I really like how the central box pleat shows a bit of the vertical black line in the sett, while the knife pleats don't. That looks really cool What a lovely tartan too!

Broadsword humour!

It's Highland Broadsword, so it's a hit... or a "whack"...

It was, even though there were only two others. :-) I wore it also lastnight to the Londoner Pub for a Celtic music session. The host stared at me agape for a few seconds before offering to seat Emily and I. I got a picture when we returned, but having not worn flashes with the hose, they sagged a little in the picture and I didn't notice till it was all hung up already. But we have a tea on Sunday and I'll wear some sort of daywear and will post more refined pictures then.

James,

As I mentioned on facebook mate, your new kilt, courtesy of Matthew Newsome, FSA Scot, looks just superb! The LA tartan is gorgeous, and the kilt looks very comfortable to wear as well. I can't wait to put in an order for a Kingussie style myself! Well done!

Slainte,

Nice kilt, James. I mentioned that to your dad on FB last night.
Regards,
Mike

Looks fantastic, brother!

I'm loving the fact that this style of pleating is starting to take off!

Looks awesome, I want one myself now.

James,

Is the fabric a custom-weave from Dalgliesh? If so, which colors were used? I very much like that the blue and green are strong and rich (unlike Lochcarron's Anceint pastel shades) but are very distinguishable from the black stripes (unlike Lochcarron's Modern colors.) Very sharp!

Cordially,

David
