I need a new kilt

[Scott Gilmore]

... An all-grey tartan would work so very well with a wine-coloured jacket and waistcoat.

Here is a reasonable photo of my kilt:...

Wow, that tartan makes for an elegant kilt. Good suggestion.

Regads,

Martin,

PM1 has a kilt in shades of Grey, I believe, but I don't remember what it is called. You might PM him or check his previous posts.

I have the Auld Lang Syne Grey mentioned above. It is a beautiful combination, but the red stripe may not go well with a bordeaux/maroon color.
There are a few pics at the link below.

Post some pics so we can see the colors, please.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I, too; like the Maple Leaf, but don't feel that brown and wine go together (though of course I could wear it without the jacket -- but then I'll start having storage space problems!).
The old Lang Syne is tempting, but I'd prefer not to have heavyweight cloth.

The tartan I have in mind has not been mentioned. It must have been another forum. It was basically tha same as Hamish's with an additional line of red.

Highland Granite (from Lochcarron) is another possibility, very like Hamish's Grey Thistle .
But what my subconscious had registered was actually called Balmoral Claret -- obviously just what I need for a wine-coloured jacket.
Is this available to mortals with no royal blood, however? that is the question.

I've not seen Highland Granite in the flesh... but photos of it look good. Certainly more economical than designing your own custom tartan. Another option I suppose.
