Moslty black tartan: Nightstalker vs Glyndwr?

[Benning Boy]

Night Stalker is very neutral, and should go with almost anything, although I've almost always worn mine with grey shirt and hose. It requires black accessories, as it doesn't go well with brown. But, I'd hardly call it formal-ish. It would be sharp with a hipster hat, black tee shirt, black boots and scrunched socks. I'm just too old for that look. Just looked mine over a bit ago, as I rearranged the kilts, and think I'll probably post it for sale -- cheap -- as to me it is just to specialized, I need some color.

The USAK offering is very attractive, and P/V is always to be preferred over acrylic. However, given the lone red stripe, it seems it would almost want you to go with red somewhere in the rest of your attire, that could be limiting. It would also need black accessories to look best.

Black Shadow tartan in P/V, if it could be had, would work for me as a formal kilt. Truitt's woolen one looks good on him when worn with other colors, so it can be versatile.


When looking over my Night Stalker closely a while ago, I found some short white hairs from my old dog, who died two years ago, between the pleats. I think dog hair and other things might stick more easily to acrylic fabric, and less so to P/V.
