XMarks Tartan Newsome Box Pleat Kilt
I’ve joined the ranks of those XMarkers with a kilt in our tartan. A Newsome box pleat at that!
I am very pleased all away around. The wait is worth it.

She's a beaut! Congrats to you and Kudos to the amazing Matt Newsome! One day I hope to join the XMTS Tartan Kilted, and the Matt Newsome Living Model Brigade! Love the way those box pleats sit.

It looks great, a good choice on the hose and garters, in fact the entire look is good, congratulations on the new kilt.

Very nice! Another to put on my Jones list!
You did well!

Mael, that is yet another beauty from the Newsome stable. One really cannot go wrong in asking Matt to tailor one of his fine box-pleated garments. After he made me a lovely Harris Tweed kilt four years ago, I said I would order a tartan box-pleat from him, but I have yet to do anything about it.
Oh dear! Decisions; decisions!
Take care,
Ham.
