    Versatile weathered tartan

    Hello, All.
    Recently, I posted photos of my new Weathered MacLeod of Harris Tank from reid Kilts. It was in polo shirt and casual mode....


    I thought you might like to see how it looks with both black and brown accessories;


    It alao works well for my drum majoring.


    I was surpried at how well a bottle green jacket and waistcoat works with the weathered tartan, along with brown accessories.


    .....and it also is great with the formal sporran, bonnet & Mace!


    I'm just so tickled with my new tank, I just wanted to share. Hope you like the pics.

    versatile weathered tartan

    Thanks. I should note that I have a pair of light grey hand-knit hose on order from Rocky at USA Kilts, and am scraping together the sheckles for several more colors, such as medium brown, claret, and possibly Lovat blue.
    I confess I still like the aran hand-knit hose I'm wearing in the photos, even though they'rer off-white!

    Sigh, sigh and sigh again!

    If I was to order another kilt, which I am not, NO I AM NOT, NO REALLY I AM NOT. That is the one I could go for and still stay within my one tartan mindset. Oh heck, I had better go and have a walk in the rain!

    I have succumbed to a kilt in weathered Macmillan Hunting... despite a long walk in the rain!

    Doomed, I tell ya.... doomed.

    That's beautiful. VERY nice.

    I also love the weathered, Fall-earth tone tartans. I have no Clan affiliation from which to pick such a tartan, and the ancient MacNaughton is very orange. That is one reason why I got a kilt in the Capercaillie tartan.

    Ooooooh dear do you think so? Hummmm I think perhaps you are right.But I shall resist "to the last man and the last bullet",as the saying goes and then maybe surrender well before the due time like all sensible people!

    In the meantime No,no, NO I say! No new kilt, never, never, NEVER! --------but----------------perhaps----------------maybe--------I might just------------NO, NO, NEVER EVER-----------oh well another stroll in the rain is due, NOW!

    Jock...I completely understand the single kilt idea. I have a question for my own clarification...is it ONE and only one kilt? Or is it one tartan with possibly a couple actual kilts (perhaps variations in cloth weight), but looking the same so as to be seen as a single kilt?
