    What do you want to see in a review?

    I have a Kathy Lare inbound. I'll send the final check Thursday.

    Pictures are a given. What do you want to see that Ron hasn't done?

    Tartan is Brown. pleated to sett, 9.5 yards of 16 ounce wool.

    Call the ball me boyos!

    You lucky dog!!

    Don't know that there's ever been a standard review. Folks just kinda do what seems right to them, then folks ask questions.

    What I like about Kathy's work is that a pleat shot in one of her kilts looks like the kilt is on backwards...well, when its pleated to the sett that is.

    I'm curious what # kilt she's up to now. Know she's over 1,000 hand sewn now.

    Congradulations on your soon to be new kilt.

    I would want to see detail photos. Kathy Lare is supposed to be an excellent kiltmaker, I'd like to hear about the workmanship and what you feel sets this new kilt apart from others. I feel reviews don't typically have enough details.

    Congratulations on the new kilt, not sure what I'd like to see besides the photos, and a suitable smile on your face.

    Thebes if you take a look at Riverkilt's photo gallery I know there are detailed shots of his Isle of Skye 16 oz from Kathy Lare, those shots were a contributing factor to me getting my Ilse of Skye.

    A good photo showing the proud and happy owner wearing the new kilt is always welcome, as is a pleat shot. I think most of us on here know by now that the name Kathy Lare is synonymous with a top quality product; even those of us across the pond who don't own any Kathy Lare kilts.
