    I'm resisting temptation

    I really (really) like a lot of the "weathered, hunting" tartans that I see here on X-marks. For example, way2fractious has a beautiful weathered Ferguson box-pleat kilt and I really love the tartan.

    It occurred to me that there *could* be a "Hunting MacNaughton" or a "Weathered Hunting MacNaughton".. There isn't now, but there *could be*. I just need a bit of imagination, the OK from the Clan Association Board (since the official Clan Society is now defunct), and about 4-5 people who want material.

    It's mighty tempting. MIGHTY tempting.

    So far, I'm resisting. Crikey.

    My tank is a weathered hunting MacRae. IMHO it is the nicest of all the MacRae tartans.

    I agree...I really liked that weathered MacDonald box pleat I saw here a few weeks ago.

    By the way, Brian, are you related to the Hugh MacRae that the park in Wilmington is named for? I grew up in Wilmington and spent many happy hours at Hugh MacRae Park. (playing on the playground as a child, parking in the evening when...well, you know...)

    You are powerless to resist. Just give in now.

    Thay have the ancient, weathered, and muted MacNaughton though Alan. It's not full of the browns like some of the other Weathered tartans, but it's pretty flippin' nice. They also have the Macnaughton blue too

    Actually, my MacNacNaughton kilt is the Muted MacNaughton, in Poly-Vis. The blue one is a the dress tartan, and was designed only about ten years ago. I've seen it in person, and it's quite handsome.

    nah..I want something in earth tones.

    For your consideration:

    I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. Mae West (1892 - 1980)

    There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Following the Equator (1897)
    I can resist anything but temptation. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act I
