Warning get that swatch first!!!
Good day all,
I'd like to preface my post with this disclaimer: I am not putting down or dissatisfied with Kiltstore.net. I am only posting this here as that is where the kilt was purchased.
that being said...
My father who had been vieing for a kilt for several years now finally decided to order his kilt. Living in the south he decided on the 5 yard in the Anderson 16 oz. tartan woven by Locharron. The kilt came about two weeks ago and we were stunned to see the colors were not the colors we expected. It is the correct tartan but the blue is not the usual brilliant light blue that is the background, but it more of a deep royal blue. Compared to the rest of us in our Anderson tartan kilts, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
So be warned to get that tartan swatch before you order.
As I've said I have no complaints with kiltstore.net, they did what they should have and I haven't called to address this with them for that very reason. But be careful of the tartan you select. It might look like bumbee if you don't get the swatch first.
Later,
Chris
