    Christmas Kilt

    I'm looking for a seasonal kilt - Christmas colors of red, green and white. Have done some Internet surfing and have not located anything of note. Any suggestions of where to look? Does something like this need to be a custom design? Please advise.

    Check out the "Celtic Nations" tartan (in PV) in the USA Kilts website (link above). Very Christmasy...!

    How about becoming a supporter of the Clan Claus Society? Then you can get their registered tartan. Can't imagine a more festive tartan than that.

    I'm partial to the Celtic Nations tartan (I designed it), but you may also want to look at the Scott Red tartan:

    Thumbs up Re: Christmas Kilt

    I've always employed the Caledonia as my "Christmas Tartan" but I think my new Celtic Nations kilt will replace it!

    Re: Christmas Kilt

    There are a bunch of great suggestions in this thread. That said, let me just add that the accessories used can make most tartans with red and green in them look Christmassy enough:

    There are quite a large number of tartans, perhaps hundreds, which are primarily red and green, and many have a white line in them.

    A glance through The Setts of the Scottish Tartans shows quite a few, including

    Comyn
    Cumming
    Crawford
    Dalzell
    Drummond #46
    Erskine
    Hay
    Lennox
    Livingstone
    Macaulay
    MacDonald of Staffa
    MacDonald Lord of the Isles
    MacDonnell of Keppoch
    MacDonald of Kingsburgh (some yellow lines too)
    MacGregor
    MacKinnon #144
    MacNab
    MacPhee
    MacQuarrie #180
    Menzies Hunting
    Robertson #254
