That's going to be one very, very nice kilt. You are a lucky man.

Yeti, thanks for the picture fix.

Nice plaid, eh? Just for reference, the Hunting Mackinnon was for years the choice of the Hudson's Bay Co. dressing gowns. I grew up with one not knowing it was my own 'family's' tartan!

Has anyone on the forum ever posted photos and reviews of a double box-pleated kilt? I'm very interested in how this style holds up in normal usage.

Now that's a way to get the full kilt "swish" with a box pleat! I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

WooHoo, more MacKinnon's on the board. I am also looking forward to how it comes out. I have a 8 yard tank in MacKinnon Hunting ancient....

Excellent indeed Robert, and one lucky man (but then you already knew that, didn't you my friend ).

Can't wait to see more pics!

Not a kilt, but a kilted skirt... Eleven months ago, Wompet took some pics of a double box pleat kilted skirt owned by a family member. Maybe he could post one or two. Or, with his permission, I could.
