    Help picking tweed kilt

    Hey all- I’m interested in getting a tweed kilt from USA kilts, and I’m torn between this one:

    and this:
    E3A64DB9-D45D-4AB9-8A5C-46484ED0A338.jpg

    I ordinarily lean toward weathered tartans (my favorite is weathered Black Watch)- what do you think would be the better choice?

    Thanks in advance!

    I can't say that I am very enthusiastic with either choice.

    Thank you for the resource! I looked through their tweed selection, and saw several labeled “loden,” but none labeld “loden green.” Do you have a picture of your kilt?

    I’m not a huge fan of tartan tweed as I feel it’s trying to be two things at once without really accomplishing either. I’d see if I could find a nice check tweed.

    This is only my personal view of course.
