    Not everyone would agree with me.

    looking at that last pic was a wee eye opener ,i guess with my tartan being the colour it is the glengarry might look slightly nedish(for those who dont know what a ned its a scottish numpty who drinks large amounts of booze and wears tracksuits and dons burberry baseball caps most times )

    okay least thats sorted
    oh this was the site though http://www.scotweb.co.uk/ some prices seem alright considering

    I am delighted to say, that the tartan glengarry has not become a fashion. I am even more delighted that the "exception that proves the rule" should remain in its glass case.One can overdo the tartan theme.

    Probably too much. I would only wear a glengarry in a tartan if I were wearing a solid color kilt. Otherwise, your suspicions are correct, it would be too much.

    I agree with most, the solid color goes a long way with me!

    I almost forgot about this. If you really really need some flair in your glengarry, instead of tartan or black, get one in a solid color that you like. I've seen tan (khaki-ish), blue, green, etc. That could look pretty smart!

    Oh my!...that last one was-

    I really- REALLY, REALLY recommend that you stick with solid color, especially for a glengarry.
    But, nonetheless, It's up to you.

    I found the "checkerboard" pattern of the Glengarry to be a bit much. I have a Glengarry in the Muir tartan (matches the kilt). When worn with a Prince Charlie jacket looks just right and not overdone.

    That is known as "dicing", and is worn by a number of Scottish regiments in the Commonwealth.
