That looks pretty sharp Hamish. I like it. Just when I think I've got the order in which I want to order all the kilts I want straight along comes another tartan that stikes my fancy.
The only tartan name I've heard that's funnier than that was made up by Hamish. When asked what tartan he his black kilts are, he answers, "The Macabre tartan."
I'd love to hear some of the responses to that one! I bet most of them are along the lines of, "Really? How interesting!"
Just when I thought I had a decision made concerning another tartan, you have to do this. Awesome tartan and I agree you definately should be the very first to have it. Congratulations!
That is absolutely awsome! I like it much more than the Granite or black-on-black tartans that are out there. I think I feel my bank account going down and my wifes blood pressure going up! :grin: I can already think of several events that would be ideal for that tartan. I'll be looking forward to some pictures Ham.
I was down at the local sewing store and came across a beautiful light grey + middle grey + black "tartan" material in a wool blend and middle weight for $5 USD per yard so I bought 6 yards of 60inch wide cloth. More than enough for 2 kilts or I could just use the bolt for a great kilt at the local renfairs and highland games.
The overall look is about the same as your material but the pattern repeats about every foot which is a bit more than other "tartans."
I'm thinking of calling it "Donnell of Louisiana."
