There's not much about the similarities though, just a single mention by bjcustard that it's the same.

Thanks for tip. :grin:

I agree, it does look like the one from SWK. I still don't know if I could wear it though. From a distance it doesn't look "kilty' enough for me. Sure it's awesome up close but who is going to get close enough to me to tell that it is actually black-on-black rather than a solid black skirt?

Regardless of where it comes from, I really like the looks of it!

I wonder if lighting and movement will make it apparent that it is black on black instead of just black .

Graham, this is a lust I could totally turn myself over to ;)

It is very nice, and while it looks like a solid, it is a tartan ,the best of both worlds for you

I don't know, Graham, you're really getting into this whole "solids" thing. This is obviously just a way for you to justify to yourself getting a solid black kilt.

The photo of the tartan looks "twisted" to me. Is the photo taken at an angle, or are the lines of the tartan really not straight?

FYI,

There are two Dark Island tartan versions - black on black and navy on navy. Here are pictures of these two tartans:

That is hot. I want one. Now. lol
Ok someday, preferably soon. I guess I know what kilt number 3 or 4 will be. Hopefully before my friend gets married. I want to wear a kilt, and all the men in the wedding party will be wearing black suits, black shirts and burgundy ties. I was trying to figure out a tartan that would look good with burgundy. Problem solved. But without the poofy shirt.

Tiran, you must be a Terry Pratchett fan too from your avatar pic of a Nac Mac Feagle (I have a theory that there's a Ringworld variant of Gaelic, that's not quite like Scottish and Irish Gaelic and NMF would translate as something like Neach Mhic Pheagoil).

I think the two tartans look really interesting artistically - I'm not sure that I'd wear one (perhaps the black-on-black as a funereal one).

Do they, or the Kilt Store, have anything to do with the Hebridean island of Berneray, because the lament/slow march An t-Eilean Dorcha ("The Dark Island") is about that island?
