    Pollock kilt in weathered colors

    A tartan that is dominantly red and green, e.g., the Modern Pollock (below), can be kind of "Christmas-y" in modern colors.



    If red and green isn't quite what you want, the weathered/reproduction version is a nice alternative. Green is replaced by khaki, scarlet is replaced by red that is more "tomato soup" or brick red in color. Makes a pretty swell kilt!! This particular tartan was a custom weave, but many tartans are available as commercial weaves in a weathered palette.

    Tartan

    Was this material from DC Dagliesh? I saw it a few years ago but never followed up on buying it. If so, did you have to buy a set amount of fabric (ie: min 10 yards)?
