    Question tartan?

    For the life of me I cannot place the tartan, Bob? As soon as you post it, I will know it, but perhaps I can blame my "tartan amnesia" on it being Monday morning? :mrgreen:

    Cheers,

    Todd

    No surprise, Todd. It is not a common one. It was not even invented until 1996.

    It's the Scottish Borderland district tartan, manufactured by Lochcarron. They don't even make it in kilt weight. I had to pay extra to get it woven.

    I found the alleged clan affiliation for my name totally unacceptable (for historical, not political, reasons), so I spent some time looking for a district tartan that matched my family history and that I actually liked. I really like this tartan and I don't mind having a kilt that does not look like anyone else's.

    My wife and daughters all have matching sashes.

    Bob, a "tip o' the bonnet" to you for choosing a district tartan, and a very "handsome" one tae boot! :mrgreen:

    For a minute, it looked like the district tartan for Bermuda.

    I really like the colours in it, and I agree with you -- I like a tartan that doesn't look like anyone else's! :mrgreen:

    Cheers,

    Todd

    That jacket was worth the wait.
