Clan affiliation question

[creagdhubh]

Thanks, ThistleDown. I am leaning toward Shaw and universals tartans. I would wear Chattan but I'd rather have a more subdued version. I don't really care for orange or other bright colours. I prefer deep, rich, or muted/weathered tartans.

I wish Shaw wasn't considered a "rare" tartan (as per several reputable kiltmakers websites). It'll be a while before I spring for that one.

Thank you for your advice, Sir.

The Chattan tartan in a reproduction/weathered colour scheme is always an option as well! The Shaw of Tordarroch is quite a handsome sett too. I second Rex's suggestion and would go with a heavyweight fabric such as Lochcarron Strome, or something comparable from other mills (D.C. Dalgliesh is another good source).

Cheers,
