anyone own a Stewart Hunting Weathered kilt? have pics? i'd greatly appreciate it if someone could post one...hard to tell from the small samples offered on websites.

A lot of times you can order a swatch dirt cheap to see the colors for yourself... images on the computer are never totally reliable in my experience. Welcome to the rabble!

Welcome aboard Memphis dev. I have not seen a Stewart Hunting Weathered but the Steward Old weathered is one awesome looking tartan. Barb T has some photos of one she did if you want to consider it.

Best of luck!

A splendid photo indeed! Roger piping at the annual Bratach Gorm (SPSL) competition in London. A very smart tartan in a very smart colour scheme and his overall earthy/weathered attire (fawn Balmoral, Haggart's tweed, brown leather sporran with brass cantle, green Lewis hose, brown brogues, etc) is just superb. Roger's bag cover even tones well with his attire.

Here's another taken the same day with piping judge and professional piper, Willie McCallum:

Cheers,

It's a lovely tartan and Roger's kit is fantastic. MOD cantle perhaps?

It appears so, Richard. Tim at House of Labhran would know best. He is the former President of the SPSL and a mate of Roger's.

I have a question about Stewart tartans.

Are they considered to be universal tartans? I seem to get he impression that they are.

**sailortats** · 12th February 13, 08:16 PM

Bren, Yes, unfortunately the Stewart tartans are considered universal. I say unfortunately because I am a member of that clan and would really like to have a tartan that is not a universal one.

Oic. Thanks, Sailortats.

I can understand why that would be a bit disappointing. As a Shaw Clan member I can say that I would just be thrilled to see our tartan being worn...but the trade-off is that is is an expensive tartan. At least Stewart tartans are easily-obtainable.
