Campbell or Black Watch

Oops, wrong link...

I will ill try to find it back up... I was looking all over the other night, trying to find info on this tartan. Likely it is in reference to the already mentioned 1760s reference.

This I find really interesting. Always have been a fan of the BW tartan but it seems a little close to my Graham tartan in color and set (I know they are different, but to the average eye). So that put me on a search, I've seen BW dress but when searching the main mills it doesn't seem they carry it. Other articles I've seen said the BW dress is the same as the Campbell dress but when I look the sets looked a bit different with the white stripes.

Now this is straight from the head of the Campbell House stating there is no (dress Campbell). It clarifies and yet still confuses. So the Campbell dress is really just a BW dress and not a Campbell. So when and if I spring to get another kilt made in BW dress I really should be ordering the Campbell dress, ken. That is a bit confusing no? Haha

If yer a Campbell, where's the confusion? Go here: http://ccsna.org/jsep50a.htm#A0

I used to buy Campbell "dress" ties that were not approved by the Clan head. Once I started looking at buying a kilt, I was well aware the Duke of Argyll stated Ancient Campbell, unless you were a member of the Houses of Breadalbane, Cawdor or Loudoun. That's easy. Black watch is a military tartan, but I have one of those as well that I wear for military oriented occasions.

Best of luck to ya!

Well, yes. I'm confused. Good thing that it's a bit clearer for Sinclairs!

Okay; I'm not confused any more! Thanks!
