    Another Picture Request: Dress Gordon

    Hello everyone, once again!

    This time I'm looking for a couple of pictures of natural people in a dress gordon kilt - preferably in formal attire.

    On google there's only pictures of people modelling the tartan for companies, which is obviously not the natural way it would look on most people.

    I own a gordon kilt, but I would like a dress one for formal attire.

    So if you can help me with a couple, that'd be great

    Thank you

    Daniel

    Okay, I've had this question in my head regarding the dress Gordon for some time now, and this seems as good a place as any to bring it up. I've frequently seen two versions of the tartan, and interestingly enough, the first two to post on this thread have each posted one of the two.

    In the picture McMurdo posted, every occurance of the thick white stripes is flanked on either side by a thin yellow stripe in green.

    However, in Beloit's, every other occurance of the thick white stripes is flanked by the thin yellows.

    I like the second better, personally, but are both correct? is one a more accurate dress gordon, and one a look-alike-ish? (ala the black watch half-sett tartan?)

    Or am I missing something altogether?

    Here's another picture taken at last weekend Highland Games in Phoenix. The man on the left is the Mayor of Phoenix, Phil Gordon. He's wearing a shirt with a Gordon Crest.

    Yes, I'm sorry to say. Maybe next year he'll catch on. I don't think he understood the full significance of the event. Maybe the Caledonian Society will clue him in before they invite him again!

    However, as a resident of Peoria, Arizona, the mayor of Phoenix is not my mayor. I live in the suburbs.
