Buchanan tartan...

[Dreadbelly]

Why not a reddish brown colour?

IIRC correctly, that tartan would match that colour.

Brown would look really great with weathered or ancient Buchanan. I think with modern black would look good, or a very dark brown.

You make a good point, Brother Dread. This is what I was thinking about getting:

Scroll down to the "Casual Kilt Belt and Buckle". I have that belt, and that sporran and really like them both very much. I'd like to get him something that will last many years that looks really good. That combo has been great for me.


Edit:
Wow you guys are fast! LOL The tartan is the "standard" Buchanan - it is certainly not ancient because the colours are quite loud. Matt, it's the one you call "the familiar Buchanan" on the albanach site.
