New kilt, which tartan?

**chrisupyonder** · 19th March 11, 07:39 AM

I am plannig a new kilt from our local supplier in Thurso. My tartan would be MacLaren modern but I just looked on their website and they have a Caithness tartan which looks very nice. Now I want both!

but can only afford one. HELP!

Caithness Tartan.

MacLaren Ancient or Weathered?

Oh, damn! More choices!

I suggest you go with the MacLaren tartan. I don't think the Caithness tartan would work well for semi-formal and formal wear.

I would like to get a MacLaren myself...I should send in my membership paperwork to the association (due to my connection in Scouting). I am not overly enamored of the Caithness that you posted...so MacLaren would definitely be MY choice.

Just looked at the MacLaren page....I REALLY like the Weathered!!!

I vote with Jock. Go clan first.

MacLaren Ancient (the sett shows up better). MacLaren Weathered, if you're up for a second kilt at some point in the future. The MacLaren Weathered colors are very similar to the Caithness tartan's colors.
