Thanks for the many compliments.
Hamish:
You're far too kind but I'm pleased to hear you like it. Matt does great work.
Rex:
Sorry. :rolleyes:
Scott & smaughazard:
As for wearing the tartan with brown or black accessories: Yes, it goes well with either color. As for shirts and hose, the earthy tones of the tartan allow for many, many variations of brown and green so if you're like me and prefer soft warm colors then this tartan will suit you well.

The Fitzsimmons tartan is registered with the STA as a Clan/Family tartan; however, I did
not restrict it when I had it registered, so anyone who wants to wear it may certainly do so.
FYI, only two mills produce the tartan: DC Dalgliesh, Ltd. (pre-STA) and The House of Edgar (post-STA). As a kilt it has only been made thus far by Matt Newsome and Tartankilts.com (House of Edgar).
The kilt in the photo is constructed of material from DC Dalgliesh and made by Matt Newsome; it is also the very first of its kind therefore
priceless (to me at least). I have an additional 16 meters of material
and an 8-yard kilt (my first!) on the way (21 July 2006) from The House of Edgar which will look decidedly different from (darker than) the Dalgliesh material. If you like the tartan now, just wait until you see the material from Edgar!
