tartan shirt?

[macwilkin]

I have a shirt made of ancient MacLean of Duart tartan, made of viyella. I purchased it from Ben Silver a couple of years ago. They no longer carry MacLean, but shirts of many tartans and checks may be found at Dann Mens Clothing:

I've purchased quite a number of shirts from them over the years and am very pleased with them.

They also sell tartan dressing gowns!

I wouldn't mention Ben Silver around these parts; their prices are bound to give some folks a case of apoplexy!

That's right, some of us are on the pauper side of the kilted world.

Apoplexy and all.

I made a wool tartan shirt for my husband in the Antarctica tartan. It's DC Dalgliesh K7 11-12 oz weight, and it made a beautiful shirt. Here's a picture of him wearing it in Antarctica:



I think it took less than two yards, so it didn't cost that much to make. So, light weight kilting tartan (11 oz) or even lighter tartan (8 or 10 oz) makes a great shirt, and it's available in a zillion tartans.

Here's the same exact tartan made into a kilt:
