    Not quite, Doc. I do have two plain kilts in black Barathea - one from TFCK and one from Geoffrey (Tailor) - I have jokingly referred to them as being in the "MacAbre" tartan!

    However, I do have in my 'Kilt Kollection' a black on black kilt from The Highland Store, in London, in what they called "Hidden Tartan". There's a pic. of it on page 6 of my photo album.

    I find it very hard to tell from the pictures, but I am assuming there is a visible tartan pattern to these kilts? In the pics they all seem to look just black.

    Yes, there is.

    You may need to turn the brightness and contrast up on your monitor to see it. But, it is there.

    Hi Tiran,

    If you click on the thumbnail at the bottom of page 6 of my Album, the image will enlarge and, if you click on that one, it should enlarge yet again. I think you'll be able to see the 'hidden' pattern more clearly then. Admittedly, it is not very clear, but black is very difficult to photograph - especially with an automatic camera!

    Tried to have a look at the gallery Hamish, but only the first two images are coming up. May be an AOL thing again, but is ther anything else I should do to view? (Other people's IMFF galleries have worked.)
    Thanks
    Phil

    Sorry, Phil, but I cannot help you with that one! It appears to be a technical matter - and I am afraid I just don't 'do' technicals!!! Those first two images, by the way, are actually the entries to sub-albums. Hopefully there will be a third up there soon, with a gallery of the recent Vancouver "Gathering" goings-on.

    I don't know what to suggest about the other images, Phil. I do, however, recall someone once saying that they had to disenagage their Firewall in order to view images there, but I don't know if that works for everyone. I would not know how to turn mine off anyway!

    Does anyone else have any thoughts on this one?

    FYI... This is the same 'tartan' as my SW Hvy Shadow Tartan kilt...
