Thought you were going with the leather RKilt?

Pleather, naugahyde, vinyl, saran-wrap?

If versatile is what you want, why not go with a two tone black/white tartan like Cairn or Menzies? Any colour can be coordinated with them and nothing dresses up like black or white (or both). Try a USAK casual in Menzies.

I don't want a black or white tartan because the shirts I plan to wear are black and/or white. I want some color. I really do like the Warrior tartan. The Baru is very nice as well. Bright reds don't look very good on me. Dark reds like wine red and garnet do though.

Hmmm... Based on what you were saying, Sport Kilt's mini in the Anderson tartan would be right up your alley. It has a lot of colors making it very versital.

For Sportkilt, the MacLeod is certainly bright, but I think the Nova Scotia (a personal fav.), the Edinburgh, or the All Ireland would be nice.

Now for a bit more, you could check out either www.usakilts.com or www.canadiancasualkilts.com and get something in PV. I am sure either company would make something really nice, and they both carry similar PV from the same source. The warrior tartan would look good.

Should you decide to forgo tartan this time check out Freedom kilts (I am not sure if Steve makes mini kilts), Rkilts, union kilts, or even utilikilts minis.
