    I had to look for a few seconds, but ended up buying a glengarry with a black torrie. I would do the same when the time comes to buy a balmoral. For whatever reason, I don't like the look of the red. My tartan is blue/green/purple with a touch of white.. Red just looks out of place.

    I also like the idea above of buying one with a red torrie (easiest to find), ripping it off, and inserting one that you have made in a color that matches or compliments your kilt/jacket/eyes/hose/pinky ring/etc.

    I might have to steal that idea, God bless X-marks!

    For the ultimate in convenience, sew a velcro patch to the balmoral, attach another to your toories, and you can switch them out to match whatever you feel like.
