look to your left or to your right. Both sides of the forum are the Xmarks tartan. If you want to see the tartan as a kilt, check out some of the pics from this past weekend at Feritosh as I am sure there would be one or two good shots.

Thank you. Before I made the final decision for my first kilt, that background made me think seriously about something in blue. That may very well be my next kilt if any is available when I am ready for that purchase.

Thanks again!!!

It makes a very good kilt. Looks great.

From our Nor Cal Burns' Night Supper here is the X Marks Tartan in three kilts each pleated differently:

Cheers

To add to Ron's notes, the colors of the last run are more of a blue/gray tone (deep) and the brighter blue is more of a deep royal.

I really like the tartan!

so are there people interested in another run of the tartan?

I get my annual bonus this Friday & gotta spend it on something; may as well be some X-Marks tartan!

Count me in if there's an order being put together!

Camerons X-Marks kilt is made by Freedom Kilts and it's pleated to the stripe, with the gold stripe in the tartan centered. It's thier formal model. Steve Ashton has one just like it, and if you search around the forum, you'll find pics of it.

Mine is made by me, pleated to "no stripe"...meaning to an area of the dark blue "background". That picture doesn't really illustrate the significant difference in appearrance between the two "pleated to the stripe" kilts.
