Funeral Kilts?

The sett, though not the colour of the third one is reminiscent of my Union Kilts tartan.

Being that my forth coming Modern Mackay is very dark I wouldn't have a problem wearing it to a funeral.
Having said that however, I am partial to #2, followed then by #1.
And no, I wouldn't have a problem wearing any of those outside of a funeral, they are rather nice looking (I'm partial to darker tartans) and really who in my neighborhood is going to know they are called mourning tartans?

The only "hearless b*stard" here is me because I stole the Maple Leaf out from under you. Personaly I prefere #2. I don't think that the grey not showing up too much of a problem. Consider the SWK Nightstalker, every pic I've seen he grey shows up in contrast. A tartan for a funeral doesn't have to be black, the rest of your attire could show the respect. Thinking along those lines the Black Stewart could fit.

I agree. For both of grandparents funerals, I wore my dress Gordon kilt, but had on black shoes, hose, tie, jacket, and waistcoat. I had to wear the Gordon tartan. It was their tartan, and wearing a black kilt instead would've been inappropriate.

And yeah, I think black Stewart would be the best. I've always thought it an amazingly beautiful tartan, plus it's your tartan, plus you can wear it anywhere!
