    Looks great! The Hunting is on my wish list, for when I get my weight "stabilized", if you will...your whole look is very good. You may want to try making your own flashes, or "ties" out of yarn--there is a good thread about doing that in the DIY section. That lets you experiment with different colors without taking out a second mortgage...Cheers!

    Thanks kindly. I wonder if grey flashes would do the trick.
    I thought the hunting would be a good tartan for a casual kilt, also thinking that when I eventually save up enough for a full tank that I'd go for the MacPherson red. Which tartans do you wear?

    MacPherson of Cluny (Chief) also uses the Hunting. I did not see him in the red at all over four days of ceremonies. He wore grey hose, red flashes just like yours, and a light grey tweed jacket. I can send photos if you wish.

    Nice kilt, nice pictures. Glad it worked out for you from a fellow Clan Chattan (there are quite a few here it seems, including Thistledown from Clan Davidson and Cattanach of course).

    I'd love to see the pics, thank you. A few tips from the Chief himself, himself. The jacket I plan on getting converted is a light grey so I might just be on the right path. I'm wondering if garter ties rather than flashes would look better. The flashes seem to be too much red for a tartan that tends to mute the little red it contains. Or I could just be making stuff up...
