Going to brag a bit
I'm somewhat new around here, but thought I would gloat. Got home last week to a package sitting on the stoop. Turned out to be my new kilt, a 5 yard knife pleated 13 oz, in the Isle of Skye tartan. Made by Matthew Newsome.
I have to say, it looks fantastic. The tartan looks even better in person. I didn't realize it was slightly popular before I found this site. Good to know I'm not alone.
I would post a picture or two, but I don't have a digital camera (and not too fond of myself being on the internet). If I get a friend to take one I'll put it up.

Uilleam: I don't have a knife pleat from Matt, but I do have two of his box pleated kilts---I think you made a smashing choice, both for kilt maker and for tartan choice.

Being non Digital
I love that tartan and can't wait to see it. Before I obtained my digital camera, I took my 35mm film to Wal Mart for developing and requested them to make a CD of the pictures. Placing the CD in my computer I now had digital photos that I could post and share via the internet.
Congratulations on your Newsome!

It's OK to brag, that is an awesome tartan. Congratulations with the new Kilt, and wear it with pride.

If I might correct you turpin, it is MacHummel (of CCK fame) and not Canuck (RKilts) that is hoping to bring the rabble et-al the Isle of Skye in PV. I too shall soon one day be a member of BOIOS at a cost of one or both of my boyos. Canuck on the other hand would love to make you an IoS in stunning black leather.
