Would YOU wear another "clan's" tartan?

[Sir William]

It must be a real bummer if you insist on only wearing your clan tartan and nothing else and it's one you don't like It seems very restrictive to me.

I had this problem with Elliot, my mother's clan tartan. I didn't much care for a blue tartan, I wanted something in green. However, now I like the blue tartan - its a bit distinctive among the tartan sea of reds and greens at the Games.

I prefer a tartan that I have a strong connection to but, sadly, that is the Buchanan which is not one I would even like to be seen dead in.

Me also!
I dont mind the very weathered versions of Buchanan - like the muted ancient, though, even then it's bareable, but not one of my favourites.

Hi Phil.

Have you seen Buchanan Hunting modern and ancient from Lochcarron

I like the Modern a lot.

Hi Phil.

I quite like that as well, John. I believe a number of American Buchanans co-operated in making a few newer Buchanan tartans, including a dress tartan. I wonder why

They are certainly less like a "See you Jimmy" tartan but weren't available when I was getting a kilt and I hope the two I have will see me my days now.

Yes, the hunting tartan is really nice. I will admit that the clan tartan is a bit 'garish' in modern colours , but I have mine in Lochcarron ancient colours which is a bit easier on the eye (in fact the colours are much softer than in the photo). I'd love one in weathered colours for day wear.

I have not, nor will I ever wear a tartan, other than my own.

I'm with Jock on this, however I will admit that when I was an officer of a Scottish philanthropic organization back in the 70s all of the officers (myself included) wore black Stewart kilts to all official functions. When I left the organization I gave away the kilt.

[AJWatson]

I have not, nor will I ever wear a tartan, other than my own.

Im also with Jock on this one. I will only wear the Watson tartan as its my family colours. Before I bought my own on I would hire Bucanan as it was loosly related to Watson.

[Jordan]

Ive voted that i'll wear any tartan that I like the look of for daily wear, I have several kilts in various tartans and more in the future im sure.
On the other hand I can only see meself wearing my own tartan for formal occasions, the exeption being a tartan suited to the event for example I want a kilt in the Royal Air Force tartan i would wear that to all formal events which I would be able to (When I dont have to turn in in uniform) in my role as a SNCO(ATC) but the rest of the time when dressing up it would be my tartan that I think of first.

I would not, even of the clan of my last name, because I cannot make that physical tie.. so I wear the tartan I do have a tie.. the USMC Leatherneck. I wear a Saffron, because of my Irish blood.

Others do, and have, and thats ok.. its how they feel.. I choose not to..

The corporate tartans, are much the same.. to me... no connection... I will not wear it..I feel I have what I need, already.. even though I am tempted by some tartans, I feel I need to get my jackets, sporrans, and such.
