Thoughts on this tartan

**pascs** · 29th December 11, 06:39 AM

I'm thinking about getting one of Tartan4Less kilts called Eternity tartan, its dark grey with a light brown stripe as seen in the pics.

They have them at reasonable price for 2nd hand or £199 for 8yrd 16oz made to measure which seems like a good price, although I'm not expecting the greatest quality. I already have a couple of kilts in my family tartans so this is more an alternative to wearing those.

and the tartan has really grown on me since I first saw it.

I know that the dark tartans arent too popular here but just wondering what you thought.

I agree! That is a very stylish look.

I have to go along with the others, a very sharp look.

I'm not over keen on these grey tartans but as long as you like the look that's really what matters

You have not said where you plan to buy this kilt or whether it is wool or not. If it is wool then I say go for it, but if it is not then have a look at Hector Russell and consider one of their made to measure kilts at the same £199 price. They should do the Marton Mills grey equivalent of this tartan and it would be 100% wool. It will be machine stitched but excellent quality

I'm also not convinced about the "brown" stripe. I think it's probably grey

I think it's very handsome, but quite dark. If the sett were a touch smaller I'd be more attracted to it.

I agree its a smart look. I already have a charcoal tweed Argyll jacket and waistcoat, although not the pin stripe type tweed in the pictures, so I think I could achieve a similar look. I'd probably wear it with a lighter shirt so that its not so dark

Tartan4less are selling them on ebay, 16oz wool. The main colour is charcoal and the stripe is actually brown and beige. I dont really like the grey tartans, I find them quite bland but this tartan seems to stand out quite well and an interesting alternative
