the infamous panache and friends

[Riverkilt]

I'd reccomend the Thompson Grey. Shown here in USA Kilts semi-trad with maroon shirt and kilt hose. Never mind the gig line being askew.

I'm guessing if you're going to a prom you're much to skinny for this one, which is offered for sale on that thread. But Rocky can maybe get one made up for you before prom time.

hey im going to prom with a young ladyfriend of mine and she has picked and purchased a lovely maroon dress as my name implies i am a buchanan and have only a buchanan kilt ... which doesnt go with maroon at all ...so my question is what tartan would go best with maroon ... i dont have time to have one made in maroon but im gonna go off the rack if i can find a tartan ... ill only have 2 weeks between getting the funds and prom so handmade is out ... well any advice is apreciated as always

This may be a bit tricky for people to understand,but here goes anyway!Wear your kilt and wear it with pride and on no account change your clan/family tartan for anything.Yes, not even for a pretty girl!I have never heard of any lady in Scotland even suggest(dare even)that the kilt should match the dress,I am not suggesting for one second that your lady has, and I have never heard of a Scotsman consider that he should.For goodness sake you have Scots blood in your veins and you want to dress like a Scot, so think like one!I very sorry to be so blunt and of course you will do what you will do anyway.Good luck.

My advice would be to the contrary... don't worry too much about what tartan you wear, as "named tartans" are relative newcomers to the world of Highland dress. The Scots have been weaving tartan for 2000 years, but they haven't been naming those tartans for even 1/10th that time.

...that said, tartans do mean something in today's world, and it's important to take that into account too. At any rate, just be aware of any associations that a tartan you're wearing has.

That said, wear what you like and what looks good!

I'm with Jock Scot on this - I'd wear my clan tartan. The odds of you exactly matching the maroon are pretty small anyway. I guess I'm kind of weird this way, but I never bother trying to match my wife's colours when I'm not kilted, so I don't when I'm kilted either. In fact, she picked a wedding dress material that matched my kilt for our wedding.
Do what you think is right, though, and I'm sure the both of you will cut a smashing couple!

I can get beyond the title here: "infamous Panache and friends" and I am surprised no one else has commented!

Websters defines "infamous" as: "having a reputation of the worst kind : notoriously evil"

Is there something more going on at these Nor Cal Rabble-Kilt Nights than they are disclosing in the photos they post?

Nothing at all, absolutely nothing at all
