Please share pics of your rare tartan and tweed kilts.

Here's a few...images are redundant:
The Liddell - far right: A Family sett, designed by me, for our inclusive family. However, we'd be humbled any Liddell, Liddel, Lidell, Lyddal, etc. select it.


The Stewart Silk Artefact: A variation on Stuart of Appin. This, in D.C. Dalgliesh's "Standard" colour pallet, a term & a pallet they no longer use. The extreme variance in shade from the original silk sample was addressed in another thread.


Our Campbell Breadalbane Fencibles: This, in D.C. Dalgliesh's "Ancient" colour pallet. My Grandmother's brother, Uncle Charlie (one of two Uncle Charlie's I had), wore a plain-weave Plaid in an image, c1915. The family legend is it belonged to a cousin, unfamiliar to me, whom was a Volunteer Piper in the Blairgowrie-across-to-Breadalbane area (Berry Country) just prior to the Boer Era. Whether that individual was from our Robertson Family or The Methvens, I never asked my Aunt Belle. Entirely my error.

While not necessarily rare , the Montgomery Blue Green tartan is seldom seen .

It's not a complex sett and not exactly bursting with color ... but I have always liked it's simplicity .

Cheers , Mike

Very nice! I don't know if I've ever seen that Montgomery made up in a kilt, which BTW is the original Allen Brothers "Montegomerrye he hath thre stryppis blewe vpone ain fyeld gren."

There's nothing in the text to suggest three equal stripes; that's an Allen Brothers thing. I wonder what it would look like with the stripes going narrow/broad/narrow.

Here's a quick experiment with that, and experimenting with a WOB-inspired combination of dark blue and mossy green

Thanks Richard ! Your experiment is much appreciated . I definitely like the look of it .

Cheers , Mike

This is my Allen tartan kilt that was made by Barb T. The tartan isn't even woven until an order is placed. I am very pleased with it.
