A terrible dilema!

**Detroitpete** · 24th August 12, 10:19 AM

I've decided that I've been a VERY good boy this year. I've competed well in heavy athletics, ate my veggies, obeyed she who must be obeyed etc.. Ergo, I shall treat myself to a new kilt.

Because of Rocky's amazing service and the quality of the kilt he 'saved my day' with last winter, I'm deciding on going with another USA 5 yard wool.

Now the terribly sad and confusing dilema which will no doubt lead to agonizing hours of window shopping on the site and hopefully input from the rabble (these things must be well thought out)...

Which tartan?????

The horror.

What about a Black Watch? I love mine, and you can use it with almost all colors, blue, black, brown, white, red, green, etc

Unless you alredy have one

I don't see it listed on his site as one of the standard tartans, but do you have a kilt in the State of Michigan tartan? It may have to be a custom weave, though, which could put it out of your budget.

Yes, I've seen one in the wild--a good looking tartan and I may consider it because with this kilt I'm planning on going with a universal or Irish tartan.

The Michigan state tartan would be a custom weave... it COULD be done, but the price would be roughly $800 for a Premier 8 Yard Kilt.

What colors were you looking for in the kilt? The rabble and myself could suggest a few universals for you if we know what kind of colors you're looking for.

Rocky--I really have open options here: Irish Tartans: Sligo, Mayo, Derry, Roscommon all have family links. Districts etc: Perth, Ayrshire, Loch Lomond, Skye--again, family history in all of them. Love the way IOS looks.

Plus there's the numerous universals to look at. I've eyed versions of Caledonia's I like.

Trying to get away from solid darker blues, greens and reds that aren't broken up by other colors.

Rocky--just an off the wall question: Much like the Michigan tartan is a special order, how is the ballpark estimate for "Oren Peterson" Scottish Register of Tartans 10127 ?

Same... $800.
