Lamont Tartan

[Don Patrick]

How many have and wear the Lamont Tartan? I'm curious because of the limited 'off the rack' Lamonts available. I think it is time to stand up.

In retrospect, I may have posted this on the wrong forum.

I'd wear Lamont, if I could find it for a reasonable price. I agree. The problem is Clan Lamont wasn't a large clan to begin with, then we scattered after that last Campbell encounter.

Stillwater Kilts has a 13 oz wool in weathered Lamont for about $120.
I have one and its a far better kilt that the price would indicate.

I saw, unfortunately it is for a waist size 6" smaller than mine. I sure wished otherwise.

I'm hoping that if enough of us indicate we are interested in a Lamont, some of the vendors will take notice.

I got just my Lamont Ancient (pictures in due time will be posted) from Matt Newsome. I wore it this past weekend to the Tacoma WA Highland games, fun was had by all. It was my first venture in a kilt, much easier than I expected. As far as I know I didnt flash anybody ( I didnt hear any groans or laughter).

The Kilt fit just great and is top quality sewing according to my wife who is a fair seamstress. I can't do buttons.
THANKS MATT

I got my belt from Steve @ Oconee Leather Works, it looks great also.

my hats off to both vendors who were very patient with a newbie, I had a million questions and they gave great guidance. Thanks Guys

That encounter was a couple of centuries ago. I'd like to think we've recovered by this time. I suspect there are enough of us around, it's just time for us to be noticed.

Congratulations. I just ordered an ancient Lamont from Matt this weekend. I have awhile to wait yet. But will endure.

My first Kilt an 8 yard "Tank" which I bought some years ago in the 90's is in Lamont. The family name being Lemon(d) the d was dropped some time in th early 1900's acording to my father. I have a couple of casual kilts but sadly niether in Lamont! However I have recently become aware of the Kilt making talents of Mr. Matt Newsome and am saving my pennies for one of his 4 yard box pleated kilts! Which I should like to have made in Lamont. I seem to be on my way to becoming an every day kilt wearer!

Cheers,

Mike

I have posted several pictures of my 16 oz 9 yard Ancient Lamont Kilt, it was made by Lochcarron of Lochcarron fabric. It was well worth the money. I have worn it numerous times, it should last me for a lot of years. Kilts can be expensive, but properly cared for they will last several generations.

Matt's box pleat kilts are an excellent buy, I'm planning on hanging one in the Brown tartan in my closet one day. I've just got to work my way through this kilt buying moratorium.

One of my Lamont ancestors ran off with a Campbell lady and married her, I'm glad he did.

I have a Lamont Great Kilt from Celtic Croft. My grandmother was a White so I was happy to have it. I am also so tied to the Bruce Clan too.
