    Experimenting again

    Thought I'd try my old Cilt with my brown boots and sort of 'off bluish' socks. I think I will buy a blue surplus pullover and wear a denim shirt and see how that all looks then. Again comments again good or bad appreciated.

    Derek - What tartan is that? It looks like it may be Blue Mackay?

    I have been thinking of getting a tank in Blue Mackay and have a sample at home, but am not sure if I wanted to spend the cash for a kilt in that tartan without seeing it in a completed product.

    Either way it looks good!

    Blue Mackay is also known as the Morgan tartan. I suspect, since Morgan is a Welsh surname, that is why Derek is wearing it? ;)

    IMHO, blues go much better with greys than with browns.

    Here's a website with more info...

    Derek,

    The main question I have is that do you feel comfortable with the combination? A blue sweater would look nice, but keep in mind what Hamish says, the kilt should be the main attraction of your attire.

    For what it is worth, in all of the pictures you have shared with us, you have always come across as a very confident and comfortable kilt wearer.

    Thanks for posting that link. I never bothered to learn anything about color coordination, much to my wifes despair. In the past, I just wore black and blue jeans with whatever color shirt. Obviously, kilts have changed this somewhat. Maybe, if I study this site a little bit, I'll be able to dress myself again without hearing screams of anguish!

    Derek, for me, I would tend to pair that tartan with a sweater that matched/complimented/coordinated the colors in the kilt. For me, the blue, black, red, and gray in the kilt do not coordinate with the earth tones in the rest of the outfit. Might just be my own biases from too many years of wearing p#$%s! I can not argue that the sweater, hose, and shoes all coordinate nicely, just not sure about with that tartan. Not sure that it does not either! Kilt fashion is so new and open to most of us, with the exception of Ham's examples, that no one can say what really is good fashion.
