Thanks for your most kind compliment.

Regarding the colours, in person the overall effect of the colour mix is actually quite subdued. The red is softer and more muted than on the modern reds more commonly seen. The two distinctly discernable greens makes for a very interesting and unusual impact. The blue fair pops in certain lights and is quite unlike any of the modern blues I've seen about. The darkest line, often mistaken for black, is actually a very dark brown which serves to link all of the fields of colour together very nicely in a subtle sort of way.

The Tartan is especially effective on the Hill in Autumn after the bracken has turned to it's distinctive rust colour.

I wear this Kilt every day and it is very easy to dress up, or down ~ from cutting, splitting and stacking wood to attending business meetings to going to Black Tie dinners. (Very rarely, with the formal dinners. There was one only two weeks ago, but it was the first since my daughter got married in 2013.)

Buck up your courage. Join us. You will not regret it.
