Tartan Help - Probably way to much info, but now I gotta zero in on this option

I'd like to second (or are we up to thirds or fourths?) the opinion previously expressed regarding just going for what you like rather than insisting on "meaning" for the first kilt.

I'm a newbie owning only two kilts (which ain't bad considered I got my first only earlier this year) and I ended up getting Black Watch for the first and Brown Watch for the second. Now that I've got my foot in the door I'm looking at tartans with "meaning". Parry (surname), New York City (where I was born and my mom was a true New Yorker - she had a pewter plate engraved with "When you leave New York you ain't goin' nowhere", Manx, Welsh and a few others.

Regardless, good on you for taking the plunge!

Had the opportunity to get over across the water and into Freedom Kilts to chat with Steve. Had my mid-dau along, we were over to see the amazing Egypt: Time of Pharoahs exhibit that is truly incredible.

Anyway, in addition to my daughter getting the "Kiltucation" seen here, and they were talking about weight of fabrics I think, I was able to order my first kilt - Robertson Hunting in the modern colors. So, pretty excited. Now to work on the waistcoat! Jacket will be next year's big purchase.

always nice to get past the stress of picking and into the joy of buying. I'd narrowed it down to two and couldn't choose so I did both at once and told the wife when they arrived together. Looks like a nice pick.
