Need help with bonnet colors...

[A Natural MacDowell]

Well, I'm finally getting my kit to the point where I turn my attention to prospect of a bonnet or two from Dunadd, and am seeking some input on the colors to choose that would provide me with the most "bang for my buck."

I have three Maxwell kilts (top to bottom: Modern, Ancient and Hunting) and am wondering if there's a color that might work with all three.



I'm pretty sure bottle green would work for the Modern and Ancient, but I'm not so sure about the Hunting... (Note the bottle green hose below that don't quite work with the Hunting tartan)

Also, I tend to wear either a charcoal or lovat green jacket/waistcoat with the Maxwell tartans:



I also have a MacDougall Ancient and a Smith Ancient, which I wear with a lovat blue jacket/waistcoat:



Perhaps the Saxe blue for the MacDougall and Smith? (Hard to say as I've not seen this color in person...).

I'd welcome your suggestions and input.

Thanks,

SM

Saxe blue would work too, Shaun!

Shaun Maxwell, I have the Muted Maxwell kilt in the XMTS picture at GMHG and I am wearing a Lovat green diced Balmoral tam. I do believe it would go well with your Maxwell kilts. I really liked the quality of the Hunting Maxwell that you were wearing at Grandfather. Matt Newsome does a fantastic job. I am considering getting one maybe for a Christmas present. best regards Mattie
