Congratulations Mr. Newsome!

I have read many, if not most, of your articles and learned just about everything I know concerning kilts/tartan from you. I often look at photos of you to decide if my kilted appearance meets the standard. I hold your opinion very high.

Congratulations Matt! It was because of the "Ten ways" post that I was able to convince my Missus that a kilt could do anything!

A heart felt congratulations to you, sir!

Congratulations, Matt! You would have been on my short list of nominees, if not my first nomination...if I had nominated anyone.

A well-earned recognition for one of the brightest jewels in the XMTS treasure chest.

I had the pleasure of visiting Franklin, NC, and meeting Mr Newsome. Not only is it a beautiful drive, and a lovely town, but his shop is a kilt-lovers mecca. And, if you get Matt talking about tartan (which is easy to do), you'll see him light up with excitement. He truly enjoys his craft and delights in sharing his knowledge.

I can think of no one more deserving of this title. Congratulations Matt.
