May I present you...
...the MacLean Ancient 16oz 8yrd, straight from the European tour! I think in the first pic the Finnish Army beret adds a nice touch. Don't tell my superiors though, just for artistic purposes ;) Been thinking of ordering a scottish cap badge for it though...

Great looking kilt and picture. Somethings are worth the wait, although they do sometimes test your patience!

That is a great looking kilt, but I'm afraid if you were told it was MacLean ancient when you purchased it, you were misled.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is MacLean ancient:
And this is the Hunting MacLean ancient:
Your kilt would appear to be Douglas modern:
(Tartan images from Lochcarron of Scotland, of their 16 oz Strome cloth range).
Aye,

Military style accessories always seem to go well with kilts. I wonder if it's because we're used to seeing the Highland units and pipe bands, and that has colored our perception.
And when you think about it, the balmoral is just a type of beret.

That and the fact that it was the Highland regiments of the British Army that "saved" Highland dress during the Proscription. Highland military fashion has a great influence on kilted "mufti" to this day...
BTW, the Douglas tartan is a "military" tartan, being worn by several regiments, including:
The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) -- disbanded 1968
The Witwatersrand Rifles of South Africa
The Royal Gurkha Rifles
The Pipes and Drums of RAF Halton

McClain or Douglas, it's a nice kilt wherever you look it from!
If it's not the same for you,... what will you do???.... just after the european tour, sending it back is absolutely out of place, and of course,.... you've got the perfect excuse to justify asking for the "right one" ... that Ancient McClain that Matt showed here was also amazing, Ack...
Anyway, enjoy it and wear it with pride!!
¡Salud!

Ahaha! This is just absurd! I ordered the kilt over 2 months ago so I didnt anymore remember what exactly the MacLean Hunting Ancient looked like and I was just too exhilarated to check if it was the right one. Well, after checking it it is Douglas of course (M.A.C. knows the best). I called the ScottishKilts.net and they said that they have not yet got my REAL back kilt from UPS so they sent me a substitute kilt so I would have something to wear. My MacLean is still continuing the Tour d'Europa. Absurd, just absurd... Well, let's keep jonesing... :P
