I'd like to find a nice solid in balck or other dark color, with three straps and buckles and no rings for sporran attachment, no rivets and no pockets of any kind. I guess the best way to describe what I want would be (forgive me for suggesting this, Rocky, but I'd never do it anyhow) to take my Modern Gordon USA traditional kilt and dye it black. TFCK makes a really great looking kilt like this, but it is currently out of my price range. The closest thing I've found is the Stillwater heavyweight in Black Shadow tartan. However, the standard lenght for Stillwaters is 23 or more inches and at my slightly shrunken with age 5'10" , I'm afraid it would be at the point where it hangs below my knee. All of my current kilts are 22 to 22.5 inches in length and these hang just about the center of the kneecap.
