Matt's 6yd knife-pleat kilts...

[azwildcat96]

David, great review of Matts' kilts. One thing that really sticks out in your pictures is that the kilt doesn't appear to have any wrinkles or creases (it looks pristine), yet the jacket does, indicating to me that you were at some point sitting down (probably on the drive to whereever you were). This speaks volumes to the fact that the added weight of a 16oz wool fabric helps pull the wrinkles out.

I've had two of Matt's 6-yard knife pleat kilts in 16-oz fabric for a couple of months now and have been wearing one or the other (because they're my favorite and newest) every weekend and sometimes a bit during the week as well. This has also included a good deal of driving, sitting through dinners or movies, etc. I'm of course careful about how I sit down; still, I have yet to see a single wrinkled or creased pleat on either kilt upon taking it off.

Wonderful! Yes, heavyweight worsted wool is always the way to go for outstanding kilting fabric!!! I would never wear anything else!

I hope David brings a nice wooden, suit hanger for his jacket and hangs it in his car on the drive in to various Highland games and gatherings! Just kidding with you David, however, that is precisely what I do. I realize this is a bit off topic, but I never wear my tweed, barathea, or velvet jackets/doublets whilst driving - I always hang the jacket or doublet in the rear of my car, then put it on upon arriving to my destination. Now, if I am wearing a waistcoat as well (and I usually am - naturally depending on the weather, yet always with evening attire), then yes, I will wear that whilst driving as it seldom becomes wrinkled.

So David, where did those wrinkles in your smart tweed come from?!

Cheers,

Wow! Rough crowd! I wasn't pointing out the jacket wrinkles for any other reason than to show that the kilt fabric relaxed under its' own weight! No offense was implied.

I was just kidding around with David mate, that's all. I understood the point of your comment, I was simply adding a wee bit of Highland humour, as well as a quick 'trick' that I do in order to prevent jacket wrinkles - off topic I know, but I thought I'd 'throw' that in there for what it's worth!

Slainte,

Slainte,

Is that what that was?...I thought I smelled a bit of sarcasm.
