Hey y'all-
So I've worn my Matt Newsome kilt 3 days in a row. Its just that good-AND-Its perfect for the Georgia warmer climate. Pics tomorrow-Promise.

But I've surprised even myself. Being part of the Scottish "scene" pretty much all my life, I guess you tend to take for granite certain things. I've never been one to like tartans much. We are MACDONALDS, thus that was pretty much what my brothers I ever wore. It really wasn't until I saw the IoS tartan that I began to really pay attention. And once I got my designed "Browns of the South East" kilt finished, well I can certainly say that I'm REALLY in-love with searching down pretty and unusual tartans. So that brings me to this-

I decided to take a look at Irish tartans. I've known they've been there, but not having recent relatives from there, I didn't pay attention. So I checked them out on one of the makers sites...And I was BLOWN AWAY. Some are busy, but most were just INCREDIBLE. Really colorful!!! Check them out over at Linda Clifford's site. So here's my new jones-spending about a week picking the most beautiful Irish tartan, then getting back in line for another Box pleat......Its gonna be a LONG summer!!!

NorCalPiper, is your Matt Newsome box pleat in 16 oz. or 13 oz? I am going to put a box pleat next on my list and was particularly interested in your comment about it being perfect for the Georgia weather. That's a key issue for me down in Savannah.

You almost sound suprised that Irish tartans are great!

Aren't you afraid every moment you may spill something on your kilt? I can't yet imagin wearing an expensive kilt as everyday wear!

Anyways congradulations!
