The end of traditional tartan - a personal view

[Downunder Kilt]

KC, please understand that your want for a kilt in an ancient pattern is really what you consider ancient. Most of the clan tartans were only taken up in the second decade of the 19th century. Tartans, that are still available today and were around before that time are few and far between. As for the more material in a kilt makes it more dressier, I would put one of my 4 yard box pleats up against any 8 yarder for "dressiness". Cheers
