Anothers tartan

[tripleblessed]

Some discussion on mixed fiber and on PV, but didn't see any address of the OP's referenced kilt. The description
notes it is Teflon coated, which would make it good odds it is Marton Mills PV. PV is a mixed fiber in that it contains
polyester and viscose, or rayon, as we would say in the States. Hardwearing, easy to clean, less dear in the purchase
than wool. The referenced kilt is from bauhaus boy/Carse of Gowrie, several have reported good experience there.

Father Bill says better to save from scratch. I find the best way to save from scratch is to wear something between
you and the wool.

I have both wool and PV, like both. As for temperature, I have not worn my PVs out at temps below about 12 degrees
Fahrenheit, so I can't advise about cold weather wear. As I was not waiting an hour for a bus, or walking more than
a couple of blocks, I was OK in PV kilt and tee-shirt. Longer exposure at those or colder temps would seem to argue for wool. And probably a jacket. YMMV, and your expected usage is a factor.

The Thompson Camel Tartan is registered with the STA as #2421. It is dated circa 1960 and is listed as a fashion, not a clan Tartan. Due to its similarity to the Burberry it is often seen being used as a knock-off for Burberry.

It can be seen everywhere. So would suggest that very few would regard wearing Thompson Camel as infringing on a Clan.

In light of this information and the discussion regarding the Thompsons that has been posted since, I would suggest that the OP is mildly mistaken. I believe we have established clearly that Thompson Camel is not "Anothers Tartan" at all. As such, it is available to anyone who wants to wear it, even those who are strictly observant about clan tartans.

Wear it and say what you will- I know people who could stretch their explanation through dinnertime: You can call it Thompson, you can call it camel, You don't have to call it Ray ...

Hahahaha! Brilliant (beer) commerical from the 1970's.

I didnt mean to cause commotion, but i also in generality asked about using anothers tartan.

I think the question of wearing another's tartan is a good one- I just don't think it applies to Thompson Camel. And I didn't know that until reading much of this thread. Thanks for starting it.
