    Weathered and muted Tartans, Why?

    Please educate me. Why is there a weathered and/or muted tartans of a dress tartan? What is the purpose for this? Is it just used to increase sales or is there a historical significance to weathered or muted coloring? I happen to love the MacDonald Clanranald weathered tartan, looks so different than the Modern dress, and I am considering to have another kilt made but concerned this might be looked down upon or not considered a true tartan. Any thoughts, please educate me.

    Thanks...
