Dress tartans

[MacTavishOfJapan]

I don't you can catagorise them all as bad etc, some of them look OK. I quite like my one (Thomson) and would probably have used it if the blue was darker.

I think some of the huntings look weird (I'm not really a fan of the Thomson one) but some look OK.

MOST dress tartans have a good chunk of white in them, which makes them appear more "feminine". Thomson does NOT have white... it's a blue base. Dress Stewart, Dress Campbell, Sress MacDonald, Dress MacKenzie, Dress Gordon, etc, all have a good amt of white.

I am not trying to discourage anyone from getting a dress tartan... I'm just giving a fact: We'll sell 10 Gordon Mod kilts to 1 Dress Gordon.

Can't argue with the experts .......

Being in Japan so long must be messing with my concept of femininity - I bet the guys here would prefer the dress tartans 10 to 1.

I vaguely recall reading some time back that the "dress" tartans are Arrasidh tartans, made for womens Arrasidhs, not mens kilts.
