Warning get that swatch first!!!

Also, if you ordered from a different mill, the tartan will look different. We had this happen with some band kilts, where the kilt maker ordered Lochcarron and the rest of the kilt was in House of Edgar. Different colors, same tartan.

We all have our kilts in Modern. For some reason none of us care for the ancient or muted.

Here is mine:

Believe me it is MUCH deeper and brighter that that. Loud is the term I would use. I think the difference was simply the difference in the mills. My kilt is a Hector Russel that I thought used Locharran so I assumed that Dad's kilt would be the same. Under normal circumstances we would have asked for the swatch first but he wanted it in time for the kirking o' the tartan at church. Most of the Anderson Modern that you see is close to mine.

Actually I kind of like his kilt but it just isn't what we thought of as the modern Anderson
tartan.

Live and learn I guess.
