    Well I'll de darned...Gingles tartan exists!

    Ever since I started wearing kilts back in 2002 I've been searching for a family tartan. Yesterday a distant relative forwarded this to me...

    A new kilt for me in the future?

    Nice looking tartan. Congratulations on finding it, looking forward to the kilt.

    That's got to be a great feeling. It'll make a striking kilt!

    Thanks guys! I was impressed with the colours as well. It may be quite some time before I can afford to order a kilt in it though. I lost my job back in January and have started up my own business, but it's been a slow start and money is very tight right now. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have some spare cash saved up.
