    Which tartan? You vote!

    I'm having a hard time deciding on what color tartan for my two son's kilts.

    Look at #1 and see my original MacDonagh, which is somewhat dark. Then look at #2 from the STA, which is very bright.

    Or, another suggestion!! Any input is welcome!

    I'm with Jock! #1 is the way to go, IMO.

    Gotta go with #1 on this one.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

    I'd be inclined to pick the first, darker tartan. I hope the boys love the kilts and wear them with pride!

    choice

    I agree with NE.

    I would go with the first as it darker, for lads it doesn't show as much of what they get into..... as a lighter shade of tartan does.

    Vicar,

    Not sure what you mean..."what they get into???" I assume you mean dirt and goo! Fortunately, my boys are 27 and 24. I hope they won't get it too dirty!
