Got ya Jock, point, set, and match!!1
Can't one really question the true historicity of anything though?

I really appreciate the input folks, love to hear it from you guys!
I don't really buy into the "ancient" trend. I have seen some pretty brilliant, bright, early natural dyes. Saying they weathered and faded is one thing, but pushing those colors as ancient I am not sure I buy into.
Now the weathered, wow, I can't handle the orange, I feel like, and this is just for me, I would be doing adverts for the old Howard Johnson's chain.
Now weathered Ayrshire, that's a thought, and I do like that tartan!
I feel a pain in my hip pocket coming on!

Weathered Ayrshire would look pretty good. It'd have to be a custom weave since no one carries it.

Thanks Buddy!
You'll be getting the Cutty Sark special blend for Yule! 
Sorry! Just trying to be honest! Besides, investing in a kilt is always fiscally responsible. Look how they retain their value!
You do know that, beside the usual 10% discount, I do offer partial payments.

Gosh I hate to admit this, but John's got a point.
Ever sold a diamond ring? Let's see a 1.01 caret round F VISII retail oh about $3200...sale price when you absolutly have got to have the cash, oh maybe $1100(more like 900-1000).
One of Johns hand made's with most but not all the bells and whistles $500. Resale in dire emergancy to a X-marker $350.00. Forget the gold and diamonds I'm buying kilts!
Dall_Piobaire buy the RED one.

I've parted with many things in an emergency, including an xwife, one of the things I couldn't bring myself to part with would be a kilt by Kathy, John, or Matt.
Besides, at most I only plan to have three!
Booster I already have a RED one.

So buy another RED one.
Or a GREEN one!
Maybe Blue ?
Just don't get the PINK one! Too hard to get matching hose.
I know. I know three is the max, just three, trust me three is all I want or will ever need......Gosh that's a good looking Tartan! Well maybe four, yup four! Thats it! I can stop at four..........and so it goes.
Trust me, I know.......
