Buccleuch kilt

[Morris at Heathfield]

Yes, I've noticed. I know more about tartan in general than about the uniforms of the various Scottish regiments, but I'm beginning to learn more. I have one military history book on uniforms of the First World War; the rest are mostly about aircraft.

Regarding the drawing you mentioned, do you know if it's based on a photograph (or photographs)?

And, to make a totally transparent effort to refer back to the topic of the original post, I wonder if the Marton Mills Buccleuch tartan would make a nice camouflage tartan—maybe if it didn't have that white stripe? Some years back I designed a "camouflage" tartan I called "Polygon Wood". It was essentially the same as the Brown Watch, of which I was unaware at the time.

The USA Kilts casual in the fashion version. Small sett on a fat guy.


Hope that's helpful

Not sure what you guys mean by sett. is that referring to size of the square on the pattern? I think it looks good on you. I'm about 240lbs. 5'10" and about a 38 waist. I'm still torn between this one or the american heritage. I like how they pleat the american heritage so the white lines pop out perfectly in the back. But I like that green and brown combo in buccleuch.

One of the reasons I ordered my own Buccleuch back in June was because of the green and brown "woodland" colors. Not seeking to have a specifically "camo" effect, but I *was* looking to have a general use tartan kilt that I could use in the woods for light hiking, as well as more formal events. I thought the Buccleuch really fit the bill!
