I wrote an article on the Clergy tartan for the Scottish Banner some months ago.

And here is a kilt I recently made in the modern Clergy tartan (16 oz) by Lochcarron.

Aye,
Matt
Those are EXACTLY what I had in my memory

I am planning on getting some of that very material. Matt, I just need to get a wee bit better before I'll fork over $150 for the material to make a kilt meself, but it is coming VERY soon. I am planning on getting 16 oz MacNeil modern and 16 oz Clery and I love how that one looks (just the perfect darkeness). http://kilts.albanach.org/clergy1.jpg

I'll probably get some Clark PV as my last "practice" kilt (plus it will contrast with the dark 16oz). By then I should be good.

So, that will be 20 kilts on my list. Right now I am finishing #3. Got to get going . . . I just wish each didn't take so much time!!!!
