It is a fabulously beautiful tartan to my eye!

The tartan itself is lovely, and the kilt looks outstanding. But I also have to acknowledge Matt's ability as a photographer.
Matt, I've seen many such photos by you, be they shots of simple fabric, those of completed kilts, and as above, everything in between. Your photographs are always well lit, the colors rich, and the composition, focus and depth of field are perfect. You really have a flair for showing off your products. Well done!

 Nice touch...
Love those tartan-handled scissors! Nice touch... not to mention the excellent photography- you make it look easy, man!
A thought struck me as I perused your production photos: is the material fairly forgiving if you, say, flub a pleat or some such? As an artist who is sometimes overly hesitant putting pen to paper in fear of ruining the entire project... I'm really curious if there are any particularly nerve racking, make-or-break moments in the production of a kilt?
Thanks again for sharing, Matt. Always great to see your work, kilts and otherwise!
Cheers,
Wesley

That is a beautiful tartan! I also like the material you used as a liner. I like the subtle inside detail that is different.

I also like that ticking for the lining. Good choice.

Good question. I do, from time to time, end up not happy with the way a pleat is sewn in. It's a fairly simple matter to rip out the stitching and start the pleat over.
Really the only thing that can't be undone is cutting the fabric for length. If I don't measure correctly and end up cutting the cloth to too-short a kilt length there really is no recovery from that.
I am happy to report that in all the 700 or so kilts I have made, I have only ever made that mistake once and it was for one of my own kilts!

You are going to do the "in progress" reports for my kilt as well right Matt? Also, what goes into deciding the width of the pleats themselves?
