The one most important factor, IMHO ....

It is most definitely worth it, I have four of the Douglas tartans, 9 yd 16 oz hand sewn kilts. Love em!

My family tartan is also the Douglas! I wear the modern, how about you?

The modern is my second favorite, the ancient gets worn the most, but my Douglas Ancient Grey pleated to the stripe, is my special occasion kilt and the one I'm going to wear to class on Monday.

Although only a sept of Douglas, I too have the ancient in a nice tank and modern in PV casual and wear them with pride. I know of the third you have, the grey and like the tartan, but I have to ask what Douglas tartan is the 4th? Weathered, Dark DA? I personally aspire to own an ancient Red Douglas, although it is a custom weave tartan. If you have already got one I would love to see pictures.

Sorry for the thread hijack, but my curiosity got the best of me

The fourth is the Douglas Weathered, a lovely tartan. Posted some pics of it a bit back.

I'll just try to wear my Modern often enough for it to become an ancient or a weathered!

That's a lot of wearing!

If only I could wear it that much.

If only I could wear it that much.

I know, for almost three years I wore a kilt every day, now, it's special occasions and the occasional weekend since there are more important things for me to focus on and standards for me to follow, and to be honest, going into education, my wearing a kilt is not all that important.
