    MacFarlane B/W

    does anyone have a pic of an adult size MacFarlane B/W kilt?

    just curious about how it would look...

    Thanks!

    Good question. I've wondered that myself. Anyone?

    The MacFarlane tartans have never been very popular. The Black and White version even less so. I have been told that it has a very nice formal look to the modern eye. It would be great for a formal black and white event.

    Really, why is that?

    You can try Highland Laddie on Tartanweb. He is a virtual kilt model.

    I did a google search (gotta love google) and found these on Flickr.




    I noticed that the black field in this tartan is a bit wider than you usually see in the MacFarlane B&W. I thought there was a photo of David Dukovny in a Black and White MacFarlane kilt floating around but I cannot find it now. I did find one of "Scotty" from Star Trek in a B&W Scott tartan, which has a similar effect.


    There are a few B&W tartans. In addition to MacFarlane and Scott, Menzies has a B&W tartan. The Shephard tartan is also B&W. These are the ones you frequently see, though other clans have B&W versions of their tartans you see less often, such as Stewart. These tartans are a bit different and can be quite striking. Are you thinking of a man's kilt or getting a skirt for yourself?

    Ah google--should have thought of that one

    I've always loved B&W tartans, and I've been thinking of getting a skirt for myself, but I also wanted to see a kilt as I have never seen a B&W kilt before...

    Thanks for the pics and the info!

    This is proof yet again how dangerous this site is. I'd all but convinced myself that I don't need a Scott B&W tartan (my grandmother is a Scott.) After seeing it, getting one is pretty inevitable. That's one of the most stunning kilts that I've seen.

    Another B/W tartan: cairn tartan by Marton Mills.

    I have a kilt in this one:
