Gents, ladies, lads, lassies, rabble and rabblettes:

You get a voice, but not a vote. Or maybe it's a vote but not a deciding vote. Here's the deal. I have been wanting another box pleated four yard kilt, and for some reason I've really wanted one in the (current) regimental 18 oz. weight.

Well, options are somewhat limited in terms of 18 ounce kilting tartan!

They are, so far as I can tell: Black Watch, Cameron of Erracht, Gordon, Mackenzie Seaforth, and Stewarts Hunting and Royal.

What should I choose? I've no real ties to any of them, no real prejudice against the Government Sett, and a blisteringly strong admiration for a fellow who did some yeoman's work (metaphorically speaking) in the Seaforth Highlanders, Fitzroy Maclean.

You may vote for reasons political or personal or aesthetic, you may explain your preference or not as you choose, and you MUST accept that your vote is, as the "How to Kill A Man 50 Ways with a Potato Chip" books all stress, for educational purposes only. If you all vote for tartan x and I don't order it, well, tough noogies, as they say in high school. (Or did, maybe, some time, long long ago.)
