lovat green...

Quote:
So you think the lovat green will go good with that kilt? I hope so, I too like that color.
I think so. I'm partial to the lovat colours for day wear. Besides, the Lovat green is very martial-looking, which is appropriate for the history of that tartan!

Modern Red flashes would go well with the red in the tartan.

So, will this be the kilt worn at Tartan Day?

Cheers,

Todd

As for the kilt hose that the guys have mentioned, you can ring-up any of about 10,000 shops that sell Celtic items and (chances are 99%) that they have these from Gaelic Themes. Anything more than $20 and you need to look further. That's the maximum that you should pay for them.

You'll find them in two greens, two blues, a couple off-whites, and more. IF you're lucky (since Gaelic Themes also supplies them) you can also get the flashes at the same time. They have red, blue, green, black, etc.
Since price is an issue, go for the hose at a shop and for the flashes, check out my gallery in terms of making some on your own, or read Blu's article http://www.xmarksthescot.com/articles_id.php?id=8 I paid $25 for my first pair of flashes, and have not paid more than $5 a pair since (based on material and number of flashes made).

Todd,

That is the plan since the only other kilt I have is a Sp**tKilt

I'm working at getting a belt and sporran before April too. I don't want to offend anyone.
