Anticipation

[David White]

Today I sent my 4 some yards of double width "Rob Roy Movie" clothe off to Matt Newsome. Its an early 50th birthday gift for me, from me.
He is going to make a traditional box-pleated kilt out of 1/2 the clothe.
I think it should look fantasic for this early style of tailored kilt, nice muted
colors. This will be my second tailored kilt, and my second box-pleat.
Here is a picture of the clothe.

Hi Morrison! I've had this clothe for 5 years and have worn it as a belted plaid. I wanted a new kilt and I had the clothe on hand so I did it.
I really like the colors and it should make a very nice box-pleat.
The older style the better for me.
I must say that I didn't get the clothe because of the movie, I purchased it for it's older look.

That's a beautiful tartan.

Thanks, I think I'll have it pleated to the blue.

I think so also, Matt Newsome does top-notch work.

Nice! - I've always loved that tartan. I'll look forward to seeing it in it's finished form. I also have some cloth sitting around and have been tempted to do the same thing.

Hi Allen,
I've been wearing this as a belted-plaide. If you got the clothe already its much cheaper I guess. I'm going to use the other 4 yards and make a
early philabeg, mid-18th century!

Great looking tartan.
