Help needed for final decision.

A while back I posted that I would be buying a new Cilt a some point in a different tartan to the ones I've got.
I did decided on the Ancient Gunn as I would be entitled to wear that from my mothers side of the family. However, since I bought Elaine her Welsh Shawl in the Jones tartan, thats also from her mothers side, I'm now wondering whether I should get a welsh cilt made in that. I intend to order a new Cilt within the next month. So any suggestions from anyone as to which one, greatfully recieved. Two pictures .. Ancient Gunn and Jones of Wales.

Derek, I think the Jones tartan is the choice. Two reasons, 1) it looks great and 2) what a wonderful way to honor your wife! The blue looks good on you!

i am leaning toward the blue - woudl make your wife very happy for you to wear a cilt in her honor and i am sure many of the others on the board here can testify to the benefits of keeping your wife happy when it comes to cilts...

The ancient Gunn is a beautiful tartan, but I also think the Welsh Jones would be the best choise...it's beautiful, it's Welsh, it's Elaine...so it's you

(Keep the ancient Gunn on your wish list

)

I'd lean for the Jones. It also has the benefit of you having to aquire a new jumper, perhaps a nice surplus RAF-type.

Wearing a tartan is a matter of respect and honour - what a way to show your appreciation for your wife!

Go Jones

PS Just waiting for somebody to say "you are really Jonesing, now..."

If everything else is equal, the Gunn will look really nice in a kilt.

I would go with the Jones tartan for the reasons already mentioned.

I think I have to agree. The blue and green in the Jones are quite beautiful. Go with Jones and match your wife.

I also like the Jones of Wales, although either one looks like it would be a great choice. I like the blue though because it's more unique.

I'm sure there must be an "Outlaw Jones of Wales" joke to be made here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Does Clint Eastwood ever wear tartan? Might be a good choice for him.
