Did I buy the ugliest kilt on the planet?

[MacRob46]

Flower of Scotland tartan is based on Gunn tartan. It honors the late Ronnie Williamson of The Cories, who wrote the song, Flower of Scotland.

Some of you may be happy to know that I have decided the Muted Gun is not so bad after all, especially seeing the pics Richard posted. I even wore it today.A few weeks ago I heard a young woman on her phone in Target (dept.store) say she just saw somebody in the ugliest kilt... that looked like a girly kilt, so that must have stuck in my head subconsciously. The Muted Gunn is still my least favorite Gunn version however.

I think your kilt looks very good

[MacRob46]

Well good for you. I will tell Iain that you have decided his tartan is not so bad after all. And yes, I do know the chief quite well so with a good word from me your head will remain safely on your shoulders. It does look very nice on you.

Thank you, and be sure to tell him what a snappy dresser he is too...please!

Too late! His head is clearly missing in all three of those photos.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm glad you decided to go with it, tokareva. I think it looks good.

A fine looking kilt! Add my vote to those who have recommended claret hose. You can get a sense from your latest pix how claret will really help accentuate the kilt in a positive way.

I really like the colors of this tartan. It looks fine with all the hose choices you have laid out in the picture, although I am another who would go for a red (tartan, claret, or whatever else strikes your fancy) pair to add a little punch and bring out the red stripe in the kilt.

I think the Chief looks great with his darker green jacket and vest. But I think you really can't go wrong with this tartan. Just about anything you can find will go well with it.

Now I can understand if you just don't care for the blue/green colors predominating. My own tartan (Boyd) is one of those "assertive" red and green patterns that most of us imagine when we first think of tartan and kilts. But the Gunn is a lovely tartan, and the muted hues give it a friendly, lived-in look.

It looks fine in the pictures of you wearing it. I encourage you to enjoy and wear it often.

I really like your muted Gunn tartan , you have a very smart looking kilt .

Try wearing a dark olive or darker brown top / sweater with claret ( burgundy ) hose and watch that kilt pop out to the eye .

All in all , I think you have a very handsome kilt .

Cheers , Mike

I have a MacKenzie weathered which is basically brown. While plain, a pop of colour really makes a difference in the outfit. Notice in your photos how your burgundy t-shirt pops out. Given that the weathered/muted/ ancient motifs were designed to be less ostentatious that’s the modern versions, I suspect that the whole idea was to tone down an outfit for a more low-key look. I think you have achieved that nicely.
