MacGregor Tartan ?!?!?

[David White]

I'm thinking about my next kilt-sometime in the future. MacGregor I do believe.
What do you folks think about these clothe samples/pictures, from Matt's STM?
I like more muted colours but any suggestions would be great.

David,

I recently completed a box pleated kilt in the 16 oz weathered MacGregor and it turned out really lovely.

Let me know if you want me to send you samples of the cloth.

I like that tartan. I'm partial to weathered colors. But, that ancient shade is very nice too.

Aren't the weathered tartans considered the "rare and unusual" ones and cost more? I know that I'm lusting after the Weathered Cawdor and it seems a tot more expensive.

I'm enamored of the MacGregor Hunting (ancient) .

I was thinking earlier today this would go well as one of Matt's box-pleat creations. I was also admiring the Carolina states tartan in Matt's pictures, and eventually I want that, too!

My first tartan kilt will probably be a Wallace USAKilt... then i need to see whether my waistline will settle down before I start looking at big investments. I have one great-grandparent a Gregg, one a Wallace. There are lots of nice tartans there!

They're a good representation. The Macgregor Modern is a lot less bold IRL than you might think. The large amount of green mutes it quite a bit. A relative of mine has a wool scarf made out of pretty much that exact tartan. I got a SportKilt in MacGregor and even though it's not quite the same, it's not over-bright or garish by any stretch.

I could go for either the ancient or the weathered. first choice is the latter.

I have a Gordon Weathered on order right now from Matt, and it is part of the rare and unusual, but Matt only charges about $25 more than for any other, so what the hey?

[Skweres]

i personally really like the colors of the MacGregor tartan, so i say go for it

David, I go on Saturday for my first fitting of my first and probably only tank. It is MacGregor Modern being made by Rob at West Coast Kilts. Look for pics and a full review in the near future.

HEWWWWW! HOT DAMN! I didn't know they made a WEATHERED hunting MacGregor (or according to the chief: MacGregor of Cardney) !!! Decisions, decisions...

I gotta tell ya that the weathered colours really do it for me. And I love the Hunting MacGregor. I've got a sweet hunting MacGregor already, and am the proud new owner of the 16oz weathered MacGregor the Mr Newsome mentioned. The 16oz weight is SOOOO worth it, too! If I can help it all my kilts will now be 16oz.

Whichever you choose, you're sure to be pleased with Mr Newsome's handywork. Good luck with choosing your tartan.

ARD CHOILLE!!! MACGREGOR DESPITE THEM!
