Wow, Andy! Thanks for the great review. The check will be in the mail this week.... lol...

I have to say, I'm a bit embarassed. I honestly didn't remember you requesting the kilt by Christmas. This was my own mistake as I must have neglected to write it down on your measure sheet. If I have a written "need by" date, I always do what I can to meet it (so long as it is within reason, of course!). So please accept my apologies for dropping the ball on that one.

I'm very glad, however, that you are so pleased with your kilt.

I do have to make one correction -- the interior strap & buckle closure is not my own design. It was shown to me by Bob Martin, who himself saw it on a Civil War era kilt from the 79th New York Cameron Highlanders in a museum in Gettysburg. So I cannot take credit for it!

But I really like it because, as you suggest, it makes any future alterations that may be needed that much easier.

Wear it in good health!
Aye,
Matt
