Rethinking the Black Watch Tartan

[Ryan Ross]

I went to a private school for 8th-12th grade. Every day of my life, for those five years, all the girls I ever saw were wearing skirts in the Black Watch. Ever since that time, the BW tartan hasn't looked quite right for a kilt, in my eyes. I know it's ridiculous, but I've not yet been able to forget all those hundreds of box pleated skirts.




...which is why I've always found this a disturbing picture of myself.



...this kilt was a rental, for use between the time that I lost too much weight to fit into my kilts, and when I finally got around to having them altered/rebuilt.

...and to keep with the actual topic of this thread: go ahead and pick up a Black Watch. What the heck, right?
