    looking for a 'weathered' tartan

    I had a conversation with a fellow Johnston a year or so ago about kilts, and he told me about a few other versions of the tartan that I didn't know about. I looked them up and I really like them. They were the 'muted' and 'weathered' Johnston tartan. I am not willing to shell out hundreds of bucks for another kilt, as I did that once in scotland 5 years ago. I have bought two casual kilts from Atlanta Kilts, and I really like them. They were well put together and definitely in my price range! Unfortunately, they don't carry the muted or weathered. Does anyone know of any casual kilt companies that would carry those styles, in a price range I can afford?

    Thanks

    That color swatch on USA Kilts looks a bit off. The Lochcarron site has a better image: http://www.lochcarron.co.uk/tartan-f...ame/johnstone/

    Starts at $360 for a Johnston Weathered... in a 5-yard wool kilt.

    They do very good work.
