    Either of the two I have. Clan Forrester or my personal tartan: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/ta....aspx?ref=1232

    Probably the second.

    Thats a very smart looking personal Tartan, did you design it and how did you go about getting it made?

    I like the idea of a white jacket. I almost bought a Saxon one a couple of years ago. I think a white jacket of some type might look good with a kilt. Although I thought the white jackets were normally of a lighter weight fabric due to the climate. So I am not sure how a PC or even an Argyle would look without the thickness of the wool.

    It's a variation of the Forrester tartan. Just a few changes to make it distinctive. Found a mill in Scotland that would do an 8 yard run. This was back in the early 80s. Yes, it was expensive, but I don't recall the exact amount.

    Well. For kilts, and I'm only speaking from taste here, I find darker colors to mesh best. However. There's nothing wrong with rogueing vogue. Wear what you like. All my life people have told me something I was interested in wearing would look silly. Then I do it and they always go, "well damn. That actually does look good." Set trends. Don't be cautious. Do what you think looks good. I mean, you never know when you might see someone on that cruise the next year in a white dinner coat.
