I'm up in the air about these tartans mixing. I like it, then I look again and it looks a bit off. Then I look again and I like it. Then I look again.....

Perhaps you may not have considered the real reason for not mixing tartans-------and that is the offence it can cause. For example, imagine how someone wearing a MacDonald and a Campbell tartan together could cause, sadly even these days, real offence. Now, I am sorry if I have misunderstood what you are saying, but tartans and their clan(pre tartan) connections are far deeper than a fashion statement. Take my advice, if you are going to insist on mixing tartans, of different clans, then study the clan histories really well before doing so. In fact, just don't do it, its not worth the upset.
