    There was a thread like this some while back (something along the lines of "Your tartan & why?"), but for the life of me I cannot find it.

    Anyhow, since that time I have re-thought my wish list, and actually trimmed it down. Here's what is on it:


    Currently own or in the making:

    BUDGET BLACK WATCH - my 1st kilt...cheap / generic tartan / fit the bill at the time.

    MACKAY (Modern colours) - 16oz Loccharron/Matt Newsome box pleat. One of my many clans.

    MACDONELL of KEPPOCH (Ancient colours) - 16 oz Loccharron/Matt Newsome box pleat (in the queue). Another of my clans


    Wish List (in no paticular order):

    GREEN IRISH (Solid coloured) - for my O'More ancestors, & is the "tartan" chosen by the Clan O'Mórda society on St. Patrick's Day (2007).

    MACDONALD CLAN - Wilson's of Bannockburn colours.

    MACDONALD of GLENCOE (Muted colours) - no family connection, but I like the tartan & the Keppoch branch had a somewhat close relationship with the Glencoe branch.

    LOCHABER WEATHERED.

    HIGHLAND GRANITE.

    MACDONELL of KEPPOCH (Ancient colours) - as a Lady Chrystel double box pleat (for formal wear & special occasions).

    BLACK WATCH - for reenactment purposes.

    I also have an interest in some Harris & estate tweeds, & maybe even the solid Hodden colour as worn by the London Scottish. All listed would be (preferably) 16oz, & either box pleat / double box pleat / or Kingussie pleated.
