Looking good. I too, received my SWK Heavyweight Black Watch in the mail today. I am amazed at the quality, and the radiance of the color. After a touch up ironing I'll remove the basting stitches. If the washing machine repair man gets here before dark I will probably break in my new kilt with a couple mile hike up in the hills nearby.
As for the politics involved with this tartan; I'll be wearing it on St. Patty's day here in Boston, probably coupled with my Scot's rugby jersey (I'm not Irish), and will bet anyone a beer that I'll recieve more comment about the jersey, than the politics of the kilt. But, this is off topic, so.....

I like the Black Watch tartan, the kilt looks great on you! The tan hose and shirt work very well with the colors.

Hmmm, must be the camera.... The hose and shirt are a light grey.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Aw! Don't worry about it Mike. Light grey works very well .............. but, light beige might be a tad better, bringing a touch of 'warmth' to the whole ensemble!

Which is how I see them. Monitors can really play havoc with colors. It can often be difficult to make online tartan selections, never knowing how faithfully your monitor is reproducing them.
You are right that many will not wear the Black Watch because of what the tartan represents, but the important part is that you enjoy wearing it. If you enjoy it, who else really matters?
