Yup That's wicked nice! It really is a good looking tartan. I like the red stripe too.

Yes but the what's harder to see is the other stripes incorperating the Hudson Bay Co. colours.

As I posted in another thread when I introduced the Hudson's Bay Co. Tartan the four colored bands in the Tartan are the same signature colors used on the current HBC Point Blankets.

I beg to differ on you thought of black and grey accents, your beard has that covered in aces. No this screams for the official Hudson Bay Co colours; green, red yellow and Black (navy blue). Perhaps an HBC 5 point blanket waistcoat, yours for only 25 beaver pelts...

And what's this? Is that an plain old earring I see Marine? Be a real man like me and get one of these!

I agree. Last night I wore it with a black shirt, red tie, black hose and red flashes ( I haven't had time to make some HBC flashes yet)

Next I will branch out and pull the other colors out = green, yellow, etc.

About the ear-ring. The one I wear is one of those that you need a pair of plier type spreaders to change, and I don't do that much. It sorta hides behind the beard anyway.
