    I can't say that I am very enthusiastic with either choice.

    Thank you for the resource! I looked through their tweed selection, and saw several labeled “loden,” but none labeld “loden green.” Do you have a picture of your kilt?

    I’m not a huge fan of tartan tweed as I feel it’s trying to be two things at once without really accomplishing either. I’d see if I could find a nice check tweed.

    This is only my personal view of course.

    I have an “Autumn tweed” kilt but in retrospect I think that the Patriot Tyne would be a better all-around choice that will blend with more colors.

    Both are great. The Autumnal one is also known as Buchanan Antique. The Patriot Tyne is a new take on Lochcarron's Patriot tartan. The Autumnal tweed is very loud - think ancient colors. The Patriot Tyne is a bit more subdued, think hunting colors. I would go for the Autumnal one, personally, but you do you my friend.

    Do you have a picture of yourself in the kilt? I’d like to get an idea of what it looks like outside a photo studio.
