    Fraser Hunting - USAK Casual

    For those looking for something a lot different than all the other tartans out there, let me show you this kilt. This is not the true Fraser Hunting as it is missing the white lines alternating with the red in the sett but it has all the other characteristics of Fraser Hunting (Brown field with blue and green and red).
    This kilt is a bit thicker and heavier than my Gordon Modern, I'm not sure if it is that the sett is larger so it used more fabric or if the fabric itself is heavier. Either way this has become my favorite kilt.

    That's pretty cool looking.

    That's a really nice looking kilt and the shirt and hose watch well with the brown field of the kilt and with one another.

    You know, I was perfectly happy and not coveting any new kilts until you posted that picture...

    If it's not precisely Fraser Hunting does it have another tartan name?
    Reverend Earl Trefor the Sublunary of Kesslington under Ox, Venerable Lord Trefor the Unhyphenated of Much Bottom, Sir Trefor the Corpulent of Leighton in the Bucket, Viscount Mcclef the Portable of Kirkby Overblow.

    I believe it would just be know as "Fraser Hunting (trade)". At least that's how I saw it listed on one of the tartan lists. It does have a unique ID number I would expect.

    I went back and checked the site and it is actually listed as "Fraser Hunting" - #47, but in the information about it it is stated to be a trade tartan found in a store window in 1943.

    The one listed as "Fraser Hunting Clan Tartan" - #WR1659, is what is better known as Fraser Hunting.
