Did I buy the ugliest kilt on the planet?

[Shinenotburn]

I really like those green & blue tartans, whether in Modern, Ancient, or Muted colours.

But tastes differ! And you don't like them. Are red tartans your favourites? Do you like green & blue tartans in modern colours?

Buying a kilt is a big investment, and I couldn't imagine buying a kilt I didn't like.

I played in this band for a couple years. I loved these kilts! (Flower Of Scotland tartan, nearly identical with Ancient Gunn.)

That is and was a very smart looking band. I especially like the way the diced hose look with that kilt as per the Drum Major's kit, Reminds me of
an well known old painting of the Duke of Atholl's family circa 1780 by David Allen.

I find it interesting how wonderful the buff or yellowish hues of the Waistcoat in this painting sets off the hues of the Tartan as well as the diced hose. I think it is a great look, especially with a lovat colured jacket.

While we are on this subject... Who was it that decided it was not appropriate to wear Diced Hose for daywear? The Victorians and everyone before them seem to wear patterns of some sore quite frequently. I would say that should be seen as Traditional.
