Hi, I live in upstate South Carolina, having moved here from southeastern Pennsylvania last year. I joined the site in October, and I have commented on a thread or two. I've been reluctant to introduce myself, because I do not yet own a kilt. However, I am now almost there. Today, I drove up to Franklin, NC, and ordered a kilt from Matt Newsome. I ordered a 4 yard kilt with box pleats in the Stewart Black tartan, and in six months or so, I will actually own a kilt. I know the wait will be worth it, but I know I will be Jonesing before it is over. While I was there, I checked out the gift shop. I ordered a sporran, which should be ready before the kilt, and I scored a vintage, Geoffrey (Tailor) Argyll jacket in light gray, with real horn stag buttons, at a great price on consignment. Once I have the sleeves shortened, it will be a great fit. It was a good day to drive up into the mountains, which reminded me of western Pennsylvania where I was born. I think this is a great site, and I have learned a lot from reading the threads and the articles.

Hello and welcome from the highlands of BC. You know, six months is a very short time, especially considering the quality you will be getting!

My goodness you know how to start the kilted life! The Jones will be worth it. I have three Newsome box pleats myself. |

Welcome aboard from your northern neighbor. I came by Spartanburg this evening. Did you wave at me? 
I have a jacket and waistcoat at the Tartans Museum on consignment, and was hoping you'd bought it, but it's a sort of green color, not grey. And, Matt's making my third kilt!
Congrats on the order. You'll be very pleased with it.

Hello and welcome from Savannah, GA. You're off to a great start and all that Jonesin' is going to be well worth it!
I'm sure you know that we'll all be expecting pics as soon as the beauty comes in.
