Here's the earlier thread. Thanks for the suggestions!

I've been looking at other things recently, and here are some of the things I've found.

Burgundy Erskine would be great, if I could get it in kilt weight

Maroon MacGregor

Portree, suggested by Matt, worn by the Kalamalka Pipe Band

Here's a great grey & burgundy, but I don't know what tartan it is

Southbourne, which I'd not heard of, in two colour schemes, not 'claret' per se

A Grey Stewart in wool from Fraser and Kirkbright

A Grey Stewart in Polyviscose

and yet another, this one far more sophisticated and elegant, but having blue

Now getting into grey & red, rather than claret/burgundy or maroon.

MacLachlan in reproduction colours

Confederate in two variants

And the Ohio State Buckeye tartan

Before I found many of these I threw together this grey & claret concept

What a great post of the these tartan examples. I digging the pipe band ensemble of blending waistcoat colors.

OCR...the Grey Stewart in PV is a great looking tartan. My favourite of the bunch you have posted. The Portree is fine looking as well.

Southbourne looks to be a variation of Lennox.

Just looked at it again and the Stewart Grey from Fraser and Kirkbright seems to have a bit more life to it than the examples above….it's in their 12 ounce tartan, though…mixed opinions about how that works as a kilt.

Thanks AA, I added that Fraser & Kirkbright Grey Stewart to my thread above.

Portree only seems to be available in 11oz.

I might have to bite the bullet and get a lightweight kilt!

BTW the 'tartan ferret' on the STA site produced zero results when I searched using colour, with 'burgundy', 'claret', 'maroon', and even 'grey'.
