What 'universal' tartans do you like?

There are a lot of tartans that can unarguably be worn by anyone, regardless of any clan affiliation or heritage.

What are your favourites, particularly among the readily available patterns?

Two I like are Holyrood and Nightstalker.

What about you?

Isle of Skye!

Was designed by Lochcarron as a fashion tartan...it wasn't an official district tartan...maybe it is now...not sure.

Holyrood and Highland Granite are lovely also

1). House of Edgar's "Irish National" Tartan

2). St. Patrick Tartan

3). Cape Breton Tartan

4). Canadian (no not Toronto) Maple Leaf Tartan

~I adore the "Leatherneck" tartan, but am not about to wear it since I'm not, and never have been, in the service.

With the increasing popularity of kilts, the different mills are putting out several different "fashion tartans". My current favorite is the black/grey/lightgrey shades int he "Highland Granite" tartan from MM...

I also like the Ireland's National [wink] , the "Balmoral Claret" (black/white/grey and maroon fashion tartan from HOE), Stirling District, Ft William, Roxburgh, Lennox... the list goes on.

Stewart Hunting and Black Watch are at the top. To be honest, I like all of them.

I wear an Ancient Caledonia kilt for more formal events and for the Ren Faire. I get a lot of comments from people about the colors. Complimentary comments, that is.
