This kilt was commissioned by a local gentleman to celebrate his 65th birthday. With a long history of daily kilt wearing and a general interest in the craft and history of highland wear this was a significant piece for his personal collection and his first box pleat construction. It was a pleasure to work with heavyweight strome cloth from Lochcarron of Scotland in MacDonald of the Isles hunting weathered, a perfect sett to create a distinctive box pleat bringing the grey block with red stripe to the front of the box and the white stripe to the centre of the inner, creating interest as it swings open. The MacDonald clan crest is hand painted and personalised with his name and date of birth on his lining.
