| | | Campbell of cawdor dress?
Because I am a stand up guy and
because I do not need another kilt AND
because I am afraid a 38 might actually fit,
I am posting a link to this eBay item in hopes that someone can identify the tartan. I believe it MAY be a dress variant of Campbell of Cawdor, though some sources list such a designation ( and some Campbell authorities denounce it) and some do not.
Anyway, is this Dress Campbell of Cawdor, or something else?
And who will rid me of this temptation? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT By the way, and hijacking my own thread briefly, I finally received the mysterious Montrose I bought on eBay for a low bid because it was so poorly described. MIRABILE DICTU it fits my swollen body. I think it left the makers (Hugh MacPherson of Edinburgh) as a 42L. Included inside the sleeves are white buttons for lace cuffs, or maybe to attach ones handkerchief... Move along, please, nothing out of the ordinary here... (oops)

There are no official dress Campbell tartans says the Duke of Argyll ;)

I've never heard of a Campbell of Cawdor/Argyll District dress tartan before.

Yes, it's Dress Mackenzie. The blue is very dark in the picture and it looked black as first sight. Dress Campbell of Cawdor is very similar, and in fact another variation of Dress Mackenzie is very similar to that one (blue square nearer the while line). Personally If I wanted to wear a brighter Mackenzie tartan I'd go with ancient colours and not the 'Dress' version.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a dress version of Campbell of Cawdor.
I have a 5 yarder in that tartan because I love the dark background and the way that the red and electric blue stripes just pop off of the dark background.
I just can't see this on the classic white background that dress tartans usually have...

Looked up Campbell of Cawdor Dress at Scotweb's site. Not bad, a little busy.
