A good Christmas kilt

[starbkjrus]

Well....er...cough cough....

My own clan tartan...hands down!!

Royal Stewart that is plastered all over everything Christmas these days. WAY too bright for me and I'm sure that's the reason Her Majesty doesn't make too much fuss about it.

Royal Stewart is the quintessential Christmas tartan. I even have a Santa in the tartan playing the pipes.

I'll second for the Ulster red, and the Cumming red, and the MacGregor.

Surprised no one mentioned it yet:

Green Stewart. It is green and red (with majority green). Basically, it is Royal Stewart on a green base.

I agree, Royal Stewart is the "de facto" Christmas Tartan, as it is visible EVERYWHERE (though it does not have enough green for me).


As for me, I like the Caledonia (I am making a box pleat RIGHT NOW out of this tartan -in modern 13 oz worsted wool), as it useable the rest of the year without looking like a "run away Christman ornament." Also, I am pleating it to the red stripe on the blue (practically a navy in my material) part, thus making it primarly red and blue from the back with traces of black, green, yellow and white.

The one on your Avatar looks Christmassy to me.
Also any new kilt is perfect for Christmas.

Prince of Wales, a fashion tartan with the red white and forest green of the Welsh flag.

You can get it in a USA Kilts Casual....the swatch is over on the semi-trad webpage. The dark green looks black on most monitors, but its a lovely forest green, evergreen green, very Christmas like.

Thanks Ron and everyone else. I like the Scottish Millenium the best. Then the Prince of Wales, then the Caledonia. The fact that Rocky at USA Kilts has those two might be the determining factor because I dont really want to spend $500 or so. I do like the Solid green shadow tartan at SK too however, but would have to get that shorted a couple inches.

But as it was pointed out in a previous post my own clan tartan, which I already have, is pretty Christmasy itself. So I may just stick with that for this year unless I convince my girlfriend or one of my family I need a new kilt for christmas. If I do that though, I better do it fast so it would get here on time. lol

Thanks again guys, there are a lot of really great tartans that were posted. You've all been a big help as always
