    If everything else is equal, the Gunn will look really nice in a kilt.

    I would go with the Jones tartan for the reasons already mentioned.

    I think I have to agree. The blue and green in the Jones are quite beautiful. Go with Jones and match your wife.

    I also like the Jones of Wales, although either one looks like it would be a great choice. I like the blue though because it's more unique.

    I'm sure there must be an "Outlaw Jones of Wales" joke to be made here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Does Clint Eastwood ever wear tartan? Might be a good choice for him.

    Definately, especially considering his favourite screenplay writer is Paul Haggis.

    Ooof, I don't think you can go wrong with either tartan: that being said, I ask if you'll be looking at the Gunn in 16oz or a lighter weight? What weight is your current cilt, 13 oz? The Welsh wool for my cilt is 13oz and soft as a baby's....well, you know. My 16oz kilts on the other hand, are a bit coarser and heavier, but very nice on those brisk spring and fall days. Why not try something a bit different?

    Bryan...let us know which you choose...

    I think the obvious solution is to order two kilts...

    I agree, but on the first time out go with the Jones. Yes for the reasons already mentioned, it would be a great honor for Elaine.

    As many have already stated, I would go with the Jones tartan. I'm sure it would make your wife happy and proud. It is certainly a beautiful tartan.

    Personaly I'd order two kilts at the same time....but.......... I would go for the Jones. I'm looking really hard to get something a bit away from all the reds and greens I have. Hmmmm. I wonder if I can pull off a Jones connection via my father's first cousin's husband's family.

    Ya know, I really can rationalize most anything.
