Tartan opinions

Next month I'm attending the opening night of a film festival and I've decided to spring for a new tartan kilt but am still trying to decide on the tartan. Any thoughts? ALready have blackwatch, loch ness, uasf, black stewart, stewart, macdonald, mackenzie, gordon, clark, pride of scotland...and...and...Grrrrr....I forget....anyhoo I have a few choices but am looking for something new....suggestions....

What's "UASF?"
Ireland's National or the Scottish National are great tartans.
A bit biased, but the Henderson tartans are great as well. Sportkilt offers the ancient colour scheme.

Speaking * totally objectively * of course, the Henderson tartan is without a doubt the most amazingly beautiful tartan yet concieved!

The problem with it, is getting a hold of it and having a kilt made all within the span of a month. And as far as I know, it's only woven in Scotland.

Considering your place of residence, I'd get the New York City tartan. Not only would it have personal meaning for you, but it's a gorgeous tartan as well...!

Yes indeed Blu. To get a wool tartan kilt in it within a month would be quite ambitious. But, if one wanted a "quick fix" and was willing to settle with Sportkilt (I don't personally have any of their kilts, so I can't comment on quality etc.) they could get this.

I second the vote for the NYC tartan. I'd get one in an instant if I lived there. O'Neille

Yep, I would DEFINATELY wear the NYC tartan if I lived there!

Holyrood is very nice. I have a kilt in that one...

Wow....lots of choices and advice...where can I see the NYC tartan (let alone get one made out of it)....I have three sport kilts of my own and while they aren't truly the same thing, they have always gotten good reviews from those on the street. From them I was considering the armstrong, the hunting (U), or the Maclaren mod as well...I toyed with the nightstalked from Stillwater becuase I like the pattern however the length is 1.5" more than what would be proper while the Sport Kilt hits me at the right spot....the Henderson though is also a nice choice....grrrrrr....you aren't making this easy on me
