    I much prefer the weathered Black Watch to the "normal" colours. A great choice if you go with it.

    My experience [along with my first name ] coincides with John's. I have a Douglas Repro (New House Highland) and a MacKellar Weathered (Burnett's & Struth). I get more compliments/questions/comments while wearing these kilts than all my other kilts combined.

    Maybe it's because I wear them both at the same time.

    PS: Those are some handsome kilts and tartans, gentlemen.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I love the BW weathered tartan. That's on my "to do" list.

    Wow!! Thank you, EVERYONE!!

    Guys, your kilts all look outstanding!
    Rocky and Matt, thank you for sharing.

    I am still mulling over tartans but this one is really jumping out at me. Not flashy but kind of quiet and strong. I really dig all of the photos that have been shared. Very impressive!

    Thank you, again!!

    :-D

    I have a USAK ancient Campbell. The "weathered" Campbell or BW was added to my short list after I saw it on this site. May have been englishblokes pics herehttp://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ilt-bob-72333/.

    English Bloke that is very smart indeed!

    That tartan has always been a favourite, even more so now after seeing this thread.

    Yeah. I am pretty much sold. My first wool is going to be in this tartan. Gotta save up!
