    But the tartan is not available to purchase ?

    According to the registry, KA created a very different Glenlevit tartan in 1987.

    Why did they choose a teal ground for the tartan?

    I've never made any connexion between teal and whisky.

    It would be an OK tartan if not for the asymmetry the designer introduced.

    But a tartan car! A tartan phone! I wonder how many other things they did up in that tartan.

    Ah.

    Which leads to the question why did they choose teal for their packaging?

    I guess to stand out on the shelf from all the white and black packaging.

    Never mind the Tartan (personally got no issue with it), but what's with the socks? Scrugging is bad enough in my books though I know opinion is divided, but what's with the short socks? And the shoes don't exactly look right in my opinion.

    If one pays a designer to dress oneself one really isn't getting value for money if the designer doesn't have a clue..

    Not a fan of the base color but I do like the tartan over all. I very much like the outfit. It is quite similar to how I wear a kilt.
