X Marks the Scot redux

[A Hay]

The "Original" colors certainly are lighter. I'm not sure I like them better than the F&K tartan. The blue is just a bit bright for my taste.

On the other hand, I'm not really thrilled by the F&K. The blue in it is just a little to dark. The white seems to fade to gray making the whole pattern seem dull.
I have to confess I have a Matt Newsome box pleat in the darker Xmarksthescot tartan, but it doesn't get that much wear.

So far, I like the blue in the Holyrood tartan, which I also have. It seems to go better with hose or blue shirts. Also have a sky blue balmoral.

From the pictures, the RAF blue is also a nice shade.

Just my opinion however.

So we have "modern" Xmarks and "ancient" Xmarks, how about a "weathered" or "dress" version?

So many kilts, so little time. . . . (and little money!)
