    Muted Black Watch Tartan Kilt?

    Does anyone have one? Or weathered/reproduction colours?

    Thank you.

    I know there is a "Brown Watch" that is awesome. I think Strathmore mill.

    I see a muted Black Watch on Scotweb's site that is woven by Batley Morven. I would like to see a photo of the whole set, though, and if possible a kilt made in this tartan colour set.

    Black Watch Weathered (Batleys mistakenly calls it "muted" when they should call it "weathered") is available from Batleys and Lochcarron:

    Sorry I don't have pics of the finished kilts, but I've done a few in this tartan (from both mills) and it came out nicely. Good choice!

    If you do a Search you will find a military box pleated kilt in this tartan made by John Hart (Keltoi) it has been several months but I do remember the posting, there were pics included.

    I've made plenty of kilts from Lochcarron's 16 oz Black Watch weathered. All I could find uploaded in terms of photos was this detail pic of a four yard box pleated kilt.

    I'm sitting here wearing a civilian box from John in Strome Hunting Sinclair. Love it!

    You'll probably get more favourable comments about a muted tartan or people asking about it than any other kilt you have. That has been my experience with my Weathered Gordon, which is very similar to Black Watch.
