Going to brag a bit
I'm somewhat new around here, but thought I would gloat. Got home last week to a package sitting on the stoop. Turned out to be my new kilt, a 5 yard knife pleated 13 oz, in the Isle of Skye tartan. Made by Matthew Newsome.
I have to say, it looks fantastic. The tartan looks even better in person. I didn't realize it was slightly popular before I found this site. Good to know I'm not alone.
I would post a picture or two, but I don't have a digital camera (and not too fond of myself being on the internet). If I get a friend to take one I'll put it up.

Congratulations on the new kilt, I love my Isle of Skye and wear it any chance I get.

Congtaulations on the newly acquired kilt. A man in a kilt is a man and a half.

Uilleam: I don't have a knife pleat from Matt, but I do have two of his box pleated kilts---I think you made a smashing choice, both for kilt maker and for tartan choice.

Being non Digital
I love that tartan and can't wait to see it. Before I obtained my digital camera, I took my 35mm film to Wal Mart for developing and requested them to make a CD of the pictures. Placing the CD in my computer I now had digital photos that I could post and share via the internet.
Congratulations on your Newsome!
