But what if it is ugly?




I am sorry not to be sufficiently reverent on this topic. I do agree, designing ones own is a fine idea and, as discussed elsewhere, is probably not much more expensive than having any other non-stock tartan woven by certain mills. To my stereotypically thrifty Scots mind ( Sandy McThrift brand foods, Scrooge McDuck, etc) it would be better to wear the Gubmint tartan and keep going.
