Adding a small bit of a different tartan
Hello,
I have read quie a few posts about mixing tartans, but here is my situation... I wear a modern MacKenzie

My Grandfather, on my Mother's side passed this summer. I will be honouring him at this year's Samhain ritual, and would like to add a small bit to my outift to his end.
That side of the family is Irish, however he served 30+years in the RCAF, enlisted at 17 (he lied) and retired a Captain, rising through the ranks to a NCO, an then recieving his commission.
I am thinking of how I could add a bit of the RCAF tartan

to my oufit, I was thinking something small, unobtrusive, maybe a swatch here, ribbon there, or maybe hose flashes.. not really sure. Do not have the means to get a full RCAF kilt, maybe someday...
If it helps, this is not at all a formal event or anything, and it held outdoors, this year on November 1st at dusk, in Canada so there will be bundling.
Any advice appreciated...
