Kingussie Kilt

[Hothir Ethelnor]

Most of the Macdonald tartans look as though they would lend themselves easily to a Kingussie kilt.

Tartans with a smaller repetitive pattern are good so that the central box pleat can be made thinner without having serious overlap of the pleats underneath.

Macdonald tartans mostly have sections of many thin red stripes which can be substituted for each-other to some extent which actually would make them one of the more ideal tartans IMPHO.

Since I am considering this on my next kilt, I would like to ask the same question. Sorry about hijacking the thread again, but what about the Ancient McKay in the PV?

I played with the regimental BW fabric trying to pin it up Kingussie style...not a chance that would work...not how I was trying to do it anyhow. 18oz fabric with an 11" sett repeat is just WAY too much fabric at the center.

For BW, just pleat half-setts...

Cordially,

Well It kinda depends. I think it's quite possible ancient Mackay will work out fine.

Hmm....
