Now that I have and wear my Hunting Stewart tartan kilt I thought it would be cool to get some matching flashes but wasn't sure where to get them and was concerned about cost. However I noticed that Stillwater Kilts was selling Macleod tartan flashes for ~$10. They are very similar tartans:

Hunting Stewart:


Macleod:


The flashes are such as small piece of fabric there's no way you can tell the difference, so I picked up a set. The yellow tones between the kilt and the flashes are a little different but given the spatial separation between them, it's hard to tell and I think it looks pretty good.

Has anyone else tried mixing similar tartans before? Just curious.
