    XMarks kilt casually

    Here are some pics of my box pleated XMarks tartan kilt, pleated to the yellow stripe by Matt Newsome which really shows the grey stripe in the pleats, worn for a casual look. Sorry for the glare from the shirt, it is really not that bright, must have been the angle of the sun.

    That's nice. I think you accidentally plugged a 110 volt shirt into 220 volts. O'Neille

    I'm going to disagree with everyone about the shirt here. I really like it! Partly because I favor yellow, and also because I think it looks really complimentary worn with the blue tartan and will highlight the yellow line.

    I understand it's brighter in the photo than in reality, and I can imagine the actual tone "in the flesh" and I think it looks great. I'd probably wear a yellow shirt with that tartan, as well.

    Oh yeah, the kilt's not bad either.... :-)

    Actually, as Matt said, the yellow in the shirt is a perfect match for the small yellow line in the kilt. And it is nowhere near as bright as it appears. Here is a pic of the same shirt worn with the USAK Ireland's National tartan:


    It matches nicely with both kilts.
