Stillwater Heavyweight Weathered Lamont with Pictures

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I've just noticed that SWK's weathered Lamont has the same problem that many have noticed with the Black Watch tartan, as produced by some Pakistani suppliers. Namely, it's really only half the sett.

The Lamont tartan is based on the Black Watch (it's the Black Watch with a white line added to the green), and so like the Black Watch it should have a single pair of black stripes alternating with a double pair of black stripes on every other blue field. This one has a single pair of black lines on every blue, effectively showing only half the sett.

Understand I'm just making an academic comment on the tartan, here, Jamie, not on your outfit! You look smashing, as usual!

So it's a Lamont variant, I think I can live with that!

This is my first weathered tartan and I am really taken with the muted subtle earth tones.

Ever since meeting a Lady who was a proud Lamont in Trader Joes who informed me of how to properly pronounce the clan's name "It's not La-Mont, it's Lam-it! It rhymes with da****" I've been waiting for an excuse to use her explanation.

Maybe we shall call it Weather Lament.

I know because I had one of those! But I shipped it to off to Germany to live with A-Hay. Of course then we figured out my wife's family is related to the Lamonts! So now every time I see one now I wish I still had it! oop:

And no, Jerry is out of my size

Sorry, Zardoz, but you can't have it back. Like a cat, it has adopted me and I could not give it up.

It was my first weathered kilt, also. I like to wear it in the fall. Seems to go with the changing of the leaves.

Looking sharp Jamie.
I had a beard for about 10 years, then it started getting splotchy grey, so I took it off. I'll probably start it again when I retire in about 3 years.
