Moslty black tartan: Nightstalker vs Glyndwr?

[bwat]

Glyndwr is definitely still on my list for future purchases, especially since I have Welsh on my mother's side.

Although that Black Stewart is tempting me now too. Dang, you guys got me infected with kilt-acquisition-itis!

Top tip: if the only tartan you have a family connection with is Glyndwr then get that one. It'll end up as your favourite kilt. I hate to say it as it sounds overly romantic but it's true.

If the connection to a particular tartan isn't strong and/or if you've got a lot of kilts in your future then personally I'd get one "black" and then go Buchanan. Your personal style will probably be somewhere in the middle so trying the extremes of colour will be help you find your point in the spectrum. I think more than one black kilt is a bit of a waste and I'm not buying the idea that they are either:

a) more flexible than a colourful kilt, or,
b) more stylish than a colourful kilt.

Black kilts just don't work like a woman's LBD. Then again I'm someone you've never met and I could hardly be described as a paragon of style
