Red, White & Blue Kilts?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Dalgliesh is stocking the American district tartan in heavy weight (the blue appears a bit lighter in real life).


Then there is the US Bicentennial tartan, now more commonly called the US St. Andrews tartan. Lochcarron stocks it in a 10 oz.

I'm surprised that "American District" has black instead of blue.

As I said in my description, in real life the blue is lighter than the very dark navy, almost black, that appears in the image I posted.

Ah, I missed that. I thought the comment was for the one below it. It never occurred to me that the first one was navy and not black. ;)

If that's the case, I may have found my "patriotic" tartan. Does only Dalgleish make it? Is there anyone doing it it PV?

As far as I am aware, only Dalgliesh is stocking it.

Well, poo. That tends to price it out of range for one kilt.

USAK carries the Edzell (US Navy) in PV, and some of the other US service related tartans. If you have an affinity to one of the branches, you can look there. The USCG is based on Hamilton, which can be had in PV also.

Here's a close-up of the Edzell:

Speaking of Edzell, I have one from SportKilt. It doesn't fit my shape well and according to the Missus, the color doesn't suit me either. It gets a couple of annual wearings.

I use my red, white & blue per previous post in dressy and/or casual.

Joss, that's an outstanding kilt and you look great in it. It's fairly contrasty as tartans go but, you manage, in both instances, to balance that contrast; well done!

Not to go off topic (here we go) but, that's a great looking belt/buckle your are wearing in the first photo. What are the details about it and could you share some pics?
