I too like the (modern) coloured regimental Gordon:

...however I have always been a big fan of the weathered Gordon:

You don't see it too often & I think the colour combo in it makes it one of the most attractive weathered tartans around! (...the above picture doesn't do it justice)

At first glance I'd say that Marton Mills has a nice Ancient and House of Edwards a nice Modern both in 16 oz. The colours look good to me. Good for formal and easy to dress down.

That's what I'm wondering too. I mean, any excuse to buy a new kilt is a good one, but I'm just trying to figure out why the old one is no longer usable. If it's just because it's dirty, well, that's no reason to ditch it! It can be washed.

Best

I was particularly disappointed with this well know retailers product both for the reason you mention and the build quality. I won't be using him again

Sometimes things just wont clean

Have you tried the elder Jock's method of dealing with tough stains? That is, sticking it in the nearest burn under a few rocks for a couple of days and letting mother nature take care of it? The burn running through the Hermitage of Braid looks cleaner and quicker flowing than Water of Leith or Union Canal. You could probably even buckle it around a branch or something. Just put up a note that says "Do not disturb, spring cleaning." If you don't think you'll wear it anymore anyway, what do you have to lose?
