    **KILT BOMB** (traditional box pleat style!)

    That's right. I've received numerous (two to be exact) box pleated kilts today. Both are 16 oz. wool, and both are absolutely gorgeous.

    1st.

    Made by Dr. Barbara Tewksbury
    XMTS Tartan Kilt
    16 oz. Wool




    2nd.

    Made by Matt Newsome
    Carolina District Tartan, in Wilson's Colors
    16 oz. custom woven wool





    They're both wonderfully and perfectly made, and both fit perfectly.

    As I have a chance to wear them (planning for the weekend. ) I'll post pictures of each "in action."

    Barb and Matt: thanks a million.

    Very nice Bradley. Congrats!

    Except now I can't taunt you with pics of my Carolina. Must plan.

    Holy Cow Brad! That is wonderful! (of course, purely selfishly, that means my kilts from Barb and Matt are one step closer!)

    But still! WooHoo

    Well done Barb!

    Congratulations.
