Now, one step closer

Yep, you are certainly one step closer.

The wait will be worth it. I can now promise you that. I've been thinking. If I were to get an IOS tartan kilt, I would probably go with another box pleat in the Lochcarron strome. Looking forward to seeing yours!

Great kilt. Superb tartan. I too love the earth tones of the weathered. Welcome to the select clan (privileged I think) of those of us who wear Matt's kilts. Enjoy! And you look great, by the way.

Bradley, Bradley, Bradley! If that smile were any bigger, the kilt would be hidden! A long time coming but worth the wait. ENJOY!

Happy new kilt--looking good

Hi Brad,
That's one nice kilt, I've always like earth-tones. Matt does a bang-up job.
I've said it before on this forum, and I'll say it again, box-pleats rule.

That new kilt is a beauty, TB! Love the smile

Congrads!

What a great looking kilt. I'm with you on the earth tones. My favorite kilt is a weathered Robertson. I just wish I'd gone ahead and bought it in an 8-yard model instead of the 5-yarder, but there you are.

I know you're thinking now that it was worth the wait. Congratualtions.

Wow! that is one great-looking kilt! Keep enjoying it!

Great looking kilt! There is something special about the weathered tartans that seems to make them stand out. My tank is a MacRae Weathered Hunting that I just love.

Phils said it best.

Just my two cents: I'm not so crazy about everything else you're wearing (I detest "polo" shirts) in this photo, even though I prefer muted "earthy" tones over bright. If I were in your shoes, I'd choose a different color scheme to compliment this one...probably my black belt, black leather Rob Roy sporran, natural-colored hand-knitted hose, black boots and a black shirt of some kind. As it is, the tartan doesn't really stand out but maybe that's what you were looking to do. Regardless, great choice on your kilt.
