Highland Granite Tartan Colors?

**Bugbear** · 22nd July 08, 05:20 AM

I'm going to go ahead and put this link to Barb T.'s thread "Highland Granite kilt" because her description got me almost all of the way toward picking this tartan.

One of the reasons it's a perfect tartan for me is that it has a tweed-like marl. I've posted many times about considering a tweed kilt to avoid the clan tartans and my craving for tweed. So this fulfills my need for tweed and several other things like that.

Now I need to come up with a pile of money.

Ted, Just so you know and can keep things straight in your head I am now the proud owner of that Highland Granite Tartan Kilt made by Barb's artistry.

Someday I'll have my own!!

I'm not sure which pleating type I want, though...

I went back and read the measurements she gave for the kilt because I was just looking for the description when I read the thread. Somebody is skinny with big hips...

You got a good deal on that kilt!! Good grief! I didn't even pay attention to what she was selling it for.

Guess I should confess that I am a 36 waist and 36 at the hips... But my bottom is 37!

Ted, I have to thank you for reminding me. I had ordered a kilt from Barbara in this tartan months ago, but have had a hard time figuring out some measurements. You reminded me of this with this post, and now I have given her the final go-ahead.

So soon (maybe?), I shall have my first Tewkesbury kilt.

Congratulations! Lucky you!

Thanks. Well this is so clearly the right tartan for me that I can just focus on this one kilt and scratch off everything else on the wish list. Hmmm, Tewkesbury kilt perhaps...

In another thread I posted that I need to add a few items like hose to a dayware outfit I have been putting together to complete it. After that, I will be reserving any kilt money toward a traditional kilt in the Highland Granite tarten. I think I will plan on an eight yard knife pleated kilt made by one of the US kiltmakers. Probably pleated to the set... Not sure how long this will take, but for now I have the two StillWater kilts and the Buz Kidder to enjoy.

When I get pictures, I'll start a thread on the daywear outfit.

Guess that's that.

Just to bring everything up to date, I think I have decided on the tartan to follow the Highland Granite... The brown based tartan I talked about. That will probably be a long ways off though. At least I don't have to worry about deciding on a tartan anymore.
