Black Lust

[Tiran]

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?

Here is the "Shadow" tartan from SW, which Jerry says is closer to Dark Island than Nightstalker.

I liked the first one better.

I liked the first one better.

The first one was wool this one is acrylic. I agree the wool is nicer. Can't wait to see what SW wool black on black looks like.

Maybe seeing these tartans next to each other will help people decide which they like better:









As you can see, there is similarity between House of Edgar's Dark Island tartan and Stillwater's Nightstalker tartan; however, look closely and you'll see their thread counts are clearly different.
