Help picking tweed kilt

Scotweb has way more selections of tweeds for kilts just fyi. I have one done in loden green from them.

Thank you for the resource! I looked through their tweed selection, and saw several labeled “loden,” but none labeld “loden green.” Do you have a picture of your kilt?

I’m not a huge fan of tartan tweed as I feel it’s trying to be two things at once without really accomplishing either. I’d see if I could find a nice check tweed.

This is only my personal view of course.

I have an “Autumn tweed” kilt but in retrospect I think that the Patriot Tyne would be a better all-around choice that will blend with more colors.

Both are great. The Autumnal one is also known as Buchanan Antique. The Patriot Tyne is a new take on Lochcarron's Patriot tartan. The Autumnal tweed is very loud - think ancient colors. The Patriot Tyne is a bit more subdued, think hunting colors. I would go for the Autumnal one, personally, but you do you my friend.

I like the top one better.

Marton Mills has a very nice selection of tweed, any of which could be used for kilts, I do believe.

Your top kilt might be the one on the MM tweed page called "Autumn". I think it's a variant of Buchanan.

I recently got a USA Kilts kilt in Hunting Stewart Weathered tartan in Marton Mills tweed.

It instantly became my favourite kilt! It looks beautiful and has a lovely texture and feel.

The exact fabric is on the MM page I linked to above. It's listed as 475 grams which is around 16oz.

Do you have a picture of yourself in the kilt? I’d like to get an idea of what it looks like outside a photo studio.

Sure
