Henderson (weathered,) 4 yard, boxpleat by Matt Newsome: A review

**angerli** · 28th May 07, 07:53 PM

Oh, odds bodikins, am I starting to Jones and Jones...!!!!

I ordered a 4-yd. Box from Matt in my MacNicol Ancient Hunting, 16oz Strome, at the end of April. He's already received the cloth from Lochcarron, and I'm in the sewing queue. I will be picking it up at Grandfather Mountain. This will be my third kilt, but THE one I'm most interested in. My Dress Red and Modern Hunting MacNicols are really nice. but they're not Matt's own work.

Already got a special new belt from Cavscout which I'm gonna wear with it. Have to find a really special kilt pin now. Whadda they call this disease...Jonesnewmonia??
I'll bet there's no cure for it, either......!!!!!

Lookin' good bro. I wouldn't wear it (too light!) but it totally suits you.

Congratulations on the stylish end to a looooonnnnngggg Jones for you. That's a beaut. The weathered tartan is fabulous. I think it's my next order in Gordon Weathered.

That is a beautiful tartan. What a large sett too!

Don't have an box pleats, but hope they swing as well on your 16oz strome as knife pleats to.

16oz...you aren't just hooked now, the hook is set deeply.

Enjoy the quality.

Yep, you are certainly one step closer.

The wait will be worth it. I can now promise you that. I've been thinking. If I were to get an IOS tartan kilt, I would probably go with another box pleat in the Lochcarron strome. Looking forward to seeing yours!
