    End of a Newsome Jones

    At last!! the new Pride of New Zealand box pleat from Matt Newsome arrived late yesterday. Today I had a job interview so the new kilt got its first outing. Great fit and finish, and goes well with gray socks, matching flashes and the Fergusson Britt Skunk sporran that I recently received.

    So a big THANK YOU to Matt, and here are the photos.

    And the obligatory pleat shot.

    Wow!! Another Matt masterpiece and a fine looking tartan to boot.

    This was for a position that I interviewed for four months ago and was runner up for the position. Then the newbie got a better offer and left!! It is a State position, so they had to readvertise and re-interview. Think I'm the fore runner this time. It's part time, 20 hrs a week which will suit me just fine.

    Nice kilt and sporran, congratulations Brian.
