    Unique, but a little too much for my taste. I do like the idea of the exterior of the kilts as one tartan and the interior of the pleats as another.

    So, maybe a Crawford modern with Irish Saffron inside the pleats? Or maybe a nice deerskin, for my Native American heritage!

    Think I will stick to just one tartan, but to each his own! Whimsical is good!

    This just sounds like a mess to me. I can see doing the outer pleat in tartan, and then having the reveal be in a solid color, but we're talking about very busy patterns here, and I think that too many of them (in some cases two would be too many) is confusing to the eye.

    Mornington Crescent?
    LOL!

    For our north American cousins, this comment comes from a BBC radio show where contestants, usually well-known comedians, make a set of random connections on a subject aiming to end up in Mornington Crescent, a street in the English capital.

    With regards to the thread, it was getting a bit 'anoraky' as we'd say, but that's a whole 'nuther story!

    Thanks for your forebearance of your old world cousins.

    I've often thought about buying a bag of scraps to make a kilt to see what it might look like. I saw a Ralph Lauren jacket a few seasons ago made of (what looked like)scrap plaid material. They were in a really busy theme that year if I remember. Very light colors, so I'm thinking it was a spring line.
