You do the House of Gordon proud sir.
That's a favorite tartan of mine too, only my Red Gordon is a USA Kilts Casual poly viscose from Marston Mills. The sett is smaller.
What a treat to savor the Lochcarron Strome.
And thanks, never would have thought of brown leathers with it, but that works.

Not yet, Weasel. It would be nice to have a new tartan designed for that kilt, but I may be too old to worry about such things by then!!

When I joined a year ago you were announcing Number 65. It's not such a stretch to see number 100 by xmas 2008 or before, sir.

Ham,
That would be a Grand Tartan, quite possibly becoming as popular as IOS

Congratulations on a stunning kilt! As always thanks for providing the fashion guidance to us new kilt wearers.
Hamish, I have a question.
Saturday watching my friends son play a soccer match I was approached by a Lady with a U.K. accent (perhaps Manchester?) asking me what tartan I was wearing and what my family affiliation to it was. With all the lovely tartans you wear, are you ever challenged by the "Tartan Police , volunteer reserve division"?
Just Curious. And a bit jealous of that kilt, very striking.

Actually, no! I do not believe I have ever been questioned about my connections with any clan or tartan although I suppose that very rarely someone will ask, "What is that tartan?", but they do not press further questions. I find that no-one really takes much notice of my kilts thesedays.
