    Yes. I'm not sure about the one I got, tartan wise. So I thought I'd see what others thought. Bit more decided now. I need to decide on a second one!

    Well one kilt is one more than I need. I can justify one, and even though it's not been worn out of the house yet, I'm looking at that Heritage of Scotland and wondering if that would be a better second tartan than the X-marks one. I love the bright Cunningham red and black, but a blue or blue-y-purple is the sort of colour I wear a lot.

    If I do get a second one it will be a cheap-ish casual one for wearing at home for the comfort.

    Hmmm. Got to go collect bike after a service. I get the feeling the "replacement gasket" will be expensive.

    For your second kilt, I recommend saving up for a nice wool one from someone like Paul Henry. You won't be sorry!

    It needn't be the 9-yard tank-to-end-all-tanks, just quality materials and quality workmanship.
