Hiking? Brewery? We're in!

Great photo. Your tartan seems to match well with the color of your dog's coat. Is this the case or just the way the colors appear in the photo?

Cool pic, but I can't see the brand new boots.

Great Pic! What tartan is that?

Well, as my best efforts make it out as Robertson weathered, with some weaving mistakes (the black pinstripes only go in one direction). It was an ex band kilt that I picked up for a song on eBay. My wife hates it 'cause she doesn't like orange, but I love it. It is a heavy, coarse-weave wool that reminds me of fall foliage. No straps...velcro, for comfort on the trail.

Bill,
Cool...thanks for the answer. I was thinking it would go well with some Syracuse University sweatshirts I have (my Alma Mater...kinda). Auburn fans would like it too, I'd venture!
