In the store the stuff I bought didn't look all that bad but when I got it home it started looking like a table cloth...thoughts? Any tips on picking out non-tartan plaids for the great kilt?

Thank you.

JM, I have a large piece of tartan that I hand-pleat and belt into a great kilt. I use the MacIntyre hunting. I sense that you dont want a clan tartan for the sake of historical accuracy, but the MacIntyre hunting tartan existed just as such before it was adopted as the clan tartan. I wear mine guiltless of historical inaccuracy.
