Great pics! That is indeed a handsome tartan. I like the overall colour scheme of it. I don't know if it's just the photo quality, but the outdoor photos really give it a nice effect. Seems like a very versatile tartan that can go with a wide range of other colours (if one cares about colour-coordination).
Hey, I noticed that there's a pretty big difference in sett size between your PV semi-trad and Rocky's kilt/waistcoat/jacket. Yet your kilt and Mac's kilt have the same sett size. Is this because yours is PV and Rocky's outfit is wool? I seem to recall that the PV tartans are typically woven in a smaller sett. Just wanted to get some verification, as that's a pretty significant difference in size.

Thanks Tobus! The photos were taken on my phone with a 'cloudy sky' color balance (one of the presets). I thought it looked truer to actual color than the auto-adjustment, but I do have mild color-blindness with reds and greens, so what looks right to me may not actually be correct. And once again, you display a keen eye for detail. I hadn't noticed the difference in sett size, but I do recall the coat felt different than my kilt, and I had wondered if it was wool because of that, but didn't think to ask. So, my answer would be 'probably yes' to it being wool, but I cannot verify. Maybe Rocky will chime in and give you a proper answer.
Cheers,

OK. Anyone else get the mental soundtrack of "[I]Also Sprack Zarathustra[I]" (from 2001) while looking at the pics of the package, the opening, the kilt, etc? Maybe it was just me. Forgive the atrocious German, not my language.
