Congratulations on being the first, as far as I know, to get their "X Marks.." fabric made up. And what a marvellous kilt too. When I received my kilt length from Steve, my first thought was "RAF blue!" I don't know quite why, but I was expecting it to be a rich royal blue. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful tartan and I must add my thanks to all who were involved, from start to finish, in producing it.

Like you, I am having mine pleated to the sett, but I'm having to wait until Jan 14th to collect it. Having it pleated to the white stripe was certainly an option, but I felt it just looked a little too military-ish for my liking!

Another indication that you and I are pretty much on the same wavelength: I too have invested in a pair of hose in readiness for this particular kilt's completion, however mine are blue with golden yellow in the turn-over!

You have not asked for my opinion, Ron, but I think your gold-coloured hose looks better with this kilt than the lovat blue - the blues just do not connect, as I see them. Sorry!
