The best picture I have found is at

of the Glyndwr Grey, but no good kilt picture of the Glyndwr Red.

I'll try to remember (tomorrow when I'm at the shop) to post a picture of the Glyndwr tartan we have made into a semi grad and outfitted on a mannequin in the store.

Here's a shot of the Glyndwr made up into a Semi Trad, on a mannequin.

I have a USAK casual in the Glyndwr, it is very striking. the photos really do not do it justice. It looks very "formal", especially with the red stripe.

Grunthos, good luck... I need to see what the Glyndwr looks like will google that.. I have a Dark Shadow Island on Black Tartan wool kilt ... it looks almost completely black but it the light u can see a pattern on it. That is my husband's favorite.... Angie

Here are the pics I promised.

The Ben Dubh Tartan when seen in normal light looks like a plain black fabric kilt.

But when it moves, is in direct sunlight or you catch the light just right you can see the Tartan pattern quite plainly.

This is achieved by using two different yarns. Both are the exact same color of black but one is spun and twisted to the left and one to the right.

Beautiful! Thank you so much for posting these!

Has this technique ever been used with any other colour? Just wondering if it would work the same way...

This is beautiful, Steve. I love that it looks black when it is just hanging and yet changes with movement/lighting.

Is it difficult to work with this tartan?

Grunthos, I looked up GLYNDWR tartan and I really like that one the best, love the red in it.. It would look great Formal or what ever u choose to wear w it.. I may have to get that too .. Im getting 2 more kilts for Christmas one is a Moffat Clan and Elliot Modern.. I wish I would of known about the GLYNDWR before I put my order in.. lol.. Well good luck.. the nightstalker one is nice too, but the other one is nicer in my opinion... Angie
