Grant ancient tartan in formal attire

[Warhoover]

Todd,
Thanks for the reply, I am familiar with the article on the website. There is also a photo of Lord Strathspey under the "Chiefs" link but it is not a good photo as far as overall color balance goes (even his black jacket looks red on his right side). I am sure he is clothed in the ancient hues since he has made it known that he prefers the ancient hues for the dress tartan. I understand the concept of the "ancient" hues to make the tartan more "worn" in appearance as does the weathered take it one step further. I have seen some state that ancient hues can show the sett of the tartan off more and I am inclined to agree.
I just can not make up my mind between the two and am looking for a push one way or the other, not really wanting to put a swatch of each on a lazy susan and blindfold myself and "spin the wheel".

Slainte,
