Favorite tartan besides your family's

I would have to say the Ireland's National that Scottishkilts.net sells. I look at it every day, and have almost ordered it several times. However, I'm going to have to wait until the plastic cools off a bit. When I do get it, I'm going with a 16 oz 5 yard. IMHO it is a much better looking tartan than the House of Edgar Irish National.

So many beautiful tartans...it's almost impossible to name just one.

The Cameron of Erracht is very nice...modern, ancient, muted...all are lovely!
The Highland Granite from Lochcarron is also beautiful.

And I'm very fond of all the MacLaren tartans

Obviously any one that I have not yet bought!

Seriously, I like the Irish county tartans from HOE. I am also a big fan of weathered tartans.

My two favorites are... County Cavan for its deep rich colors and Isle of Skye for its misty seaside tones.

So far my "Other Nice Kilt" is the Auld Lang Syne Grey from Scottishkilts.net.
It is much softer than the picture shows. It has a thin red stripe that show up better in the Scottishkilts site. (See pic at my link below)

Another one that has impressed me is the County Cavan that several others have shown in their pictures.

Oh yeah, the grey Thistle Dhub that Ham has shown from Geoffrey Taylor.

For me, from the standpoint of simple esthetics, it's a toss-up between Nova Scotia and Xmarksthescot. The black and blue Stewart variants run a close second. My least favorite, are those with a small sett as I find them too busy.

As has been said, it's difficult to choose from the vast selection set of really fantastic tartans.

Maple Leaf
Isle of Skye
and I have not identified it yet, but the local shop has a really nice blue tartan kilt in the window.

My favorite tartan other than my own is the xmarks tartan, I hear there are problems with it but that makes it all the better. Let Rocky figure out the issues, my xmarks kilt will be perfect for me. This board has a few problem (children) so should the tartan. I think Gordon and company did a great job (after seeing fabric from run one) This board is great and so will my xmarks kilt be

I'm starting to scheme for a weathered County Down tank. I think it'll look pretty good with brown belt/sporran/shoes.
