Matt - Tried to PM you and am not sure if it worked, if it did you probably have several copies of this emai by now ... sorry

Matt,

I wanted to PM you so as to not drag out the post, but I am not sure that worked, so onto Plan B.

After reviewing your web site, and reading the comments you posted regarding the 4-yard box pleat, you have my interest up.

I was looking for a traditional 8-yard kilt, but am beginning to think that I can get one made anytime, from any number of kilt makers, at a reasonable price with a readily available tartan (choice of Mackay weathered, modern or hunting/ancient). But how often can I take a piece of heirloom tartan and make something really special out of it, not just your commonly available 8-yard knife pleat?

So, to that point I have some questions:

1) Have you made many commercially available box pleat kilts? If so, is there a reference on the board I can talk to or get a photo of the kilt?

2) Is there still one of the $50 discounts available as you posted a bit ago (hey.. I'm Scottish so I have to ask!)

3) Are the box pleat kilts lined?

4) Can you wear a Fly Plaid with a box pleat? If so, can you make one from my remaining fabric, (total size available little less than 4 yards x 54 inches) so that it matches in consistency?.

5) Would you be able to make flashes out of the same material so that there is a perfect match?

6) If I get this made by you, do I get a free pass to the museum?

Thanks much, I anxiously await your reply,
Brian Mackay
