I’m sure the traditionalists are experiencing nervous twitches just in reading the title on this one…. Let alone the product itself… But I think it’s gorgeous! The colour and something that’s 100%...

Q: Should it feel weird that I’m coming back to the thread I started so many years ago?

An online retailer (Torrid) has been selling these amazing tops…. And while I imagine it’s most likely just a “fashion plaid” (or is it an actual tartan)? It occurred to me….. Jeez, I’d absolutely...

Item is sold.

Thank you.

Mods, please close thread.

If you like, I can bring it by tomorrow (Tuesday). Unless you fancy a trip to Langford. Wouldn’t be contactless but I’d be masked and the jacket hasn’t been worn or really touched by anyone so it’s...

Sleeves are 26” (66cm) long from the bottom of the épaulette to the bottom sleeve cuff.

I still wear my original kilt in this tartan from the first run, on occasion. It's a lovely design and I always get compliments. Well worth it, IMO.

I will measure them and post here.

Is it great quality? No, but it has served the purpose for me on numerous formal occasions and most people won't be able to tell the difference. Great kit for someone just starting out and not...

Lol! True... true... it’s actually quite challenging working with just two colours.

Boy, you guys are an inspiring lot. Had a bit of time today (I know... rare) and got onto Scotsweb to see what I could come up with using only two colours but a more complex pattern.

I decided...

Thank you all for the replies. It’s all very interesting. Now I found myself wondering, that if I were to create a tartan with only two colours, would I try to counterbalance it with a more complex...

Once again, thank you for your insight. I am curious though.... are there many (any) three-colour tartans our there? Now it’s got me wondering what the min/max number of colours might be... :-) :doh:

And a slightly, better, closeup view with a better idea of the colours.

A few months ago I posted a tartan I rescued from a local thrift shop for next to nothing because it hadn’t been treated well. Yesterday I found another one but since the condition was far better,...

Most definitely useable. Just needed some TLC. But it was at least kept in a moth-free home. The leather straps seem to be in good shape too, so I doubt it got much use. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise...

Yes, thank you. That nails it. And a little more digging on my part found that this particular variation runs as “blue dress Stewart” where the red is swapped out with blue. But otherwise, it’s the...

It’s a rare treat to walk into a thrift shop and see a nasty, old, beat up garment with a price that shows someone had no idea what they had...

Upon closer inspection, I found out that it was a...

Well done, my friend!

May your newfound freedom be filled with days of joy and things you enjoy doing. :-)

Hogmanay was spent the way it should be spent: with wife, bairn, freends, scotch and arson.

The craft show one may be tricky. I don't know about anyone else but around here they tend to come in mid-late fall as something to buy for Christmas...

Now that I've had a chance to sleep on it, I think I've come to a conclusion regarding the game...

I still find myself drawn by the necessity of having to actually go out, kilted, to satisfy the...
