    Excellant Brian! Do you have any pictures showing the philabeg being worn without the waistcoat? It would be interesting to see.

    Made by Matt Newsome, it's a late 18th C. style philabeg ("little kilt"), meaning: box-pleated to the random (neither to the sett or stripe), non-tapered (waist size and length being the only measurements in play), no buckles & straps.

    The tartan is Grant/Drummond:

    And the fabric is 18 oz. Harris tweed, wonderful hard-wearing stuff!
