Gray Tartans?!?

[Cinnabar]

I was looking at myself in my kilt and realizing that I really don't look that good in a red royal stewart tartan. My scottish ancestors were from the stewart (actually, stuart) family and I feel some pull to stick with the stewart tartan. I was looking through some of the tartans at the kilt store and came upon a gray stewart tartan:



I think it looks really cool from this view but I was curious if anyone had actually seen any gray-based tartans in person and what they thought of them. I can't believe I'm already thinking about another kilt.

One grey tartan I really like the is Badenoch District tartan, also known as the Hunting MacPherson:

Seems that I remember a big run on Thompson Grey a little while back.

USAK has it on their chart of tartan swatches.

There is the Black Stewart - pleated to the sett it would look quite sharp.

I have one pleated to the stripe and that is really rather red.

Grey Stewart is on my wish list, for sure. If you google "grey stewart" on ebay you'll come across akilt skirt that's been there for ages. Look at the close up and you'll get an idea of what it looks like in a garment.

Thompson Gray comes to mind, of course, as well..

You might try the Hunting Stewart. It's more subdued and it's still a Stewart tartan.

Hey Cinnabar, great to see you building a wish list. That Stewart/Stuart grey is a handsome tartan.

I was part of that Thomson Gray USA Kilt rush. Here's pics of my semi-traditional. Hope they come out for you.

Does anyone see the pictures in Ron post? I see the code in the quote here, while I'm typing, but no pictures are coming up on my screen.

Never mind, I just turned off my firewall and they came right up.

Sorry, forgot to mention, if anyone has firewall problems the pics are on page 7 of my gallery.
