WWI Historical Kilt Question

[slohairt]

I have heard mention before of a khaki based tartan used by the Canadian forces in World War I, but I've never seen it.

On a somewhat related note, if you are interested in khaki tartan, there is also the Tyneside Scottish (Khaki):

Yes, that's an interesting tartan too, and from the same time period. Thanks for bringing that up, slohairt; I requested the thread count and will look it over.

It seems like I remember reading something about that tartan being used deu in part to a shortage of the colors for the Black Watch tartan; it does say it is based on the Black Watch tartan at that link. I don't know for sure though.



The Canadian tartan may have been used, in part, for the same reason, and it is an interesting, though understandable theme.
* Hmmm, the Tyneside tartan thread count seems to be only black and khaki; I didn't realize that. Sounds very nice though. *

That Tyneside Scottish tartan would make a great hunting kilt. Hmmmm....

That's the tartan I was referring to in my earlier post. (The Canadian tartan, not the Tyneside "Sandbag".) I'll try to post what information there is about it soon.
