It just seems funny.

If you like earthy colours then what about Stewart Hunting in Lochcarron's weathered shades? That's really cool

I already have a kilt in Hunting stewart (in fact I'm wearing it for the first time to work today!).

I'm going to get a new kilt but I'm really torn between the Maple leaf (and it's variants) and the cunningham modern.

They're really quite different and that makes the choice so much harder. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy both of them.

Did somebody say Breton Tartans??

I like Breton Tartans!! Shallow and vacuous individual that I am...





I don't have a problem wearing them. They are fashion rather than true district tartans according to the Scottish Register which makes it all the easier, not that I need an excuse.

More on the Maple Leaf Tartan here. I'll get around to Maple Leaf someday. I've liked that one too, ever since I saw it worn by Alex from Hawick.

The Bro Leon, another Brittany Tartan, is also on my wish list (as worn here by Hamish).


X Markers L-R are - Chas (Macleod hunting modern), me (Johnstone Modern), Derek (St David's), Hamish (Bro-Leon)

Jolly good show John, I love Hamish's Leon, quite striking. I'll keep those tartans in mind when the coffers are a wee more full. As for the Maple leaf, some where me mum has about 12 yards double width that I was supposed to get for my birthday a year or two ago, but the old girl forgot where she put it (shes 82 and has LOTS of fabric). So I guess when I have to clean the house out after the parents are gone I'll keep my eyes pealed for it.

Well they speak French in a small bit of Canada?

Yes, but in a form completely unintelligible to francophones from France.

For those unaware of the differences between Parisian and Quebecois French, I kid you not! They are unintelligible to each other!

Many with French ancestry in Canada, particularly the province of Quebec and New Brunswick. Also many Canadian soldiers from the great wars buried in France. By all means go ahead.

I wear it because the colors are great (and I like Joni Mitchell)
