I prefer Murray of Atholl

Murray of Atholl because it appears to have the same weathered colors (save the white)as Macdonald of the Isles weathered and those colors look beautiful in a kilt.

Not the same tartan, but much the same colors. You'll love wearing it.

I agree with Rex on this one. The Dark Douglas is the more flexible of the two.

Rob,

Quick question.

Do you already own a weathered or muted colored kilt?

Cheers

Jamie

Douglas Weathered. My other tartan kilts are, Douglas Modern, Douglas Ancient, and Douglas Grey Ancient.

If I didn't have to purchase a pants wardrobe for teaching I would be getting both. I am purchasing a tweed braemer and vest to pull double duty. Just have to decide which one to get first. Both have an equal meaning for me.

Thank you Rob.

If you already have a weathered tartan kilt (the muted colors are so wonderful for day wear) then the Dark Douglas is dramtic and would work very well for formal / evening wear

Although I do like both, I like the Murray of Atholl more. My reason, I just simply find it more pleasing to my eye and has mentioned, it is simply a beautiful tartan. Also with the connection you have to it, the sense of pride you would have every time you wear it. The history behind it. You will find it will go with a good lot as well. I say Murray of Atholl, a splendid choice.

While I'm quite partial to the Murray -- and would certainly choose it for myself -- I think Jamie makes a very good point, so I vote for the Dark Douglas.

Murray of Atholl Weathered. It's a nice tartan and will look wonderful during the spring, summer, and fall.

I personall love the Murray of Atholl tartan. I think it's very versitile, as you can pair browns, tans, greys, and even a dark red with it. If you like earth-tones, it's the winner.
