Question about this Tartan

**Tommie** · 22nd September 08, 05:09 PM

I found this surfing the net(not sure where),and was wondering if anyone knows more about what Tartan this is,or even if you can purchase anything similiar to it.
I'm not fond of bright colors and I love the colors of it.Very Sharp.

The kilts and Tartan were done by Geoffrey Tailors there was a thread about them when they came out, I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for the link to that thread.Was wondering if it had been up before.

After seeing the first pic there of the two guys and the lovely gal,im not sure I like it if its truly those colors.
Looks more black than the brownish color I thought it was in the pic above.
Maybe its the way the sun hits it.

Oh well.It looked good in pictures.

I think this tartan is one of the nicest I've seen - a pity that it's probably not going to be generally available.

I absolutely love this tartan, though as others have said in the aforementioned thread, I'm not sure about the rest of the outfit. (The boots rock, of course!)

I didn't see this posted elsewhere, but here's a short interview on the new look with Howie Nicholsby and Eric Dryden, "stewarding and events manager" at the Castle.
