    Fraser Modern Kilt Pictures Anyone???

    I have looked until my eyes hurt and cannot seem to find pictures of the Modern Fraser in Kilt form. I am trying to decide what tartan for my first kilt, and I would like to see the Fraser Modern before I rule it out.

    I normally dress in darker colors (navy blue, black, hunter green, etc.) so I don't know if all of that red would work.

    I have narrowed it down to a possibility of Edzell, Fraser Hunting, or (if I can see one) Fraser Modern. I don't want to mess up on #1.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not certain if this kilt is in the modern shades but maybe it can help

    Thanks cavscout. I think the first picture is the Fraser Ancient, but I can't tell for sure.

    I hate trying to decide what to get.

    Here I am a couple of years ago at Grandfather Mt. with Kilted Musiclover (on the left in Wallace). This is Fraser Modern Red Dress whatever. It's what most Frasers at the games tend to wear.

    Well dang, thought maybe I could edit/add pics to a post without a pic yet. No way. Edit and pics just don't get along. So, new post.

    Okay, here's a pic of the USA Kilts Casual Fraser pleats, pleated to the stripe.



    And, another apron pic.



    And a pic with green



    You can see it goes well with light blue, or dark blue, or Prussian blue, or forest Green.

    Thanks macsim and Ron those pics help. I guess I am not really a red kinda guy. Now I am down to Fraser Hunting and Edzell. If I can't decide I guess I'll have to flip a coin.

    I have ordered a Fraser Hunting and Edzell (US Navy) from USAK! Your pictures are greatly appreciated, they helped me decide what I wanted.

    Good move, you'll be well pleased with both. Glad I got my order in ahead of yours. Ordered my 18th USA Kilt...MacLean Hunting semi-trad.

    Don't matter much what you order from Rocky, you'll be back for more!

    Two great choices!

    I REALLY like that Fraser Hunting tartan, it's a beaut. Where it in good health!
