rob roy film tartan

[RockyR]

I've worked with this cloth and the Braveheart movie tartan as well. The way I describe it to someone who hasn't touched it before:

It feels like what would happen if a burlap sack and a piece of worsted wool kilt cloth had a child.

Kind of an odd analogy, but it gets the point across. Also, that's NOT a dig at the cloth... it has a very distinctive and 'country' feel to it.

It would make a great belted plaid/feileadh mor. In fact, that's what mine was originally; but somehow it sat on a shelf for several years without ever being worn, and I finally realized I just wasn't into that anymore and was wearing only tailored kilts. So I sent the fabric to Matt Newsome and he converted it into a 6-yard knife pleated kilt; a bias-cut waistcoat; and a scarf for my girlfriend.

Dale: What a great idea and a magnificent result! That is a very rustic and elegant kilt. I, too, love the blue and brown combo. Your entire outfit with the vest looks very handsome. I hope Leoghan's experience is similarly successful.
