    Well my project could either be reproduction/weathered or WOB colours I just want a nice Keppoch kilt that isn't orange.

    I really like my Keppoch box pleat in subdued lighting where the green lines really pop against the faded "red" but in general I'm not as fond of red based tartans in the ancient colour scheme.

    All those choices would be nice indeed!
    (...& I'd love to have one in each colour scheme! )

    At first I was like you, regarding the Ancient Red colours. I really wasn't sure how I felt about it. However, once I obtained an actual sample of the tartan my kilt would eventually be made of, it really started to grow on me. I especially like how the green & the blue "pop" in the sunlight. After receiving my Newsome box pleat & wearing it around, I have received nothing but compliments from locals on how beautiful it is. So, in the end, I'm very pleased & have become quite fond of mine!
