    Coincidentally I just got some black peach faced fabric to make a long sleeved tunic to go with my Black Stewart - it needs something a bit more upmarket than the usual - I think some small silver buttons are going to be really essential to the look.

    I usually avoid black as it is so goth - but it really does give some tartans an edge.

    Black definitely makes a statement - even with a kilt - or is that particularly with a kilt?

    Nice look Al! I have not paired colored button down shirts with my kilts, but that pic has me looking forward to it.

    Thanks for the kind words, guys! I think I'm going to be looking at button-down shirts a little more in the future for wearing with my kilts. Hmmmmm...another reason for my lovely wife to hide my wallet. :rolleyes:

    I have a black polo shirt that I wear with a couple of my kilts pretty often.

    That looks good, Al...two thumbs up.

    I like the look Al. I have usually just used polo (rugby) type shirts in black, but the dress shirt looks great.

    Looks good Al!

    I have a royal stewart kilt (red base) and tend to think the only good looking shirts for that kilt are either black or off-white. However, you've clearly demonstrated that black shirts can be worn blue/green tartans as well. Good show!

    Black seems to work best with my predominatly red Livingston tartan, either sweater, dress shirt or polo

    I do so love playing with possibilities. That looks SHARP!

    It gives the Gordon tartan a whole nother look!

    Thanks for passing that tip on.

    Looking good Al. I have a couple of solid black flannel button up shirts for winter that go very well with the Douglas modern and ancient kilts I have.
