Stewart tartans
Here is a list of Stewart tartans that I made from lists on web sites of a number of authorities, shops and mills. I alphabetised it, and deleted the most obvious duplicates. There are still duplicates in there, I am sure, and lots of variants that can't be easily listed. I would bet serious money that there are at least five (like maybe camel, dress blue muted, and fawn) that have never been made into a man's kilt.

I don't know much about my background, so I wouldn't wear the tartan of a specific family (like Bute or Atholl) . I do know that my grandfather's grandfather worked on the contstruction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and that he was born in Canada. My father has a Black Stewart kilt; my uncle has Dress; and my grandfather wore the single colour kilt of the Toronto Scottish Regiment.
I don't care for the dress colours, but it still looks like I could get a dozen distinctly different Stewart kilts. Where to start? Where to start? The current thinking is a first a Black Strome, then a Navy Bear kilt. One of Matt's box-pleated kilts in Grey. That would cover formal, casual and business. Then go on from there.
I have to lose 30 more pounds first, but it is fun to dream and plan.
