Ted, what is this lamont tartan you refer to? I have seen the weathered of course but what is 1/2 weathered?

thanks
curious in Seattle

The SWK Weathered Lamont is a variant on the Lamont tartan, it has only half the sett of the Lamont tartan. Hence the 1/2 descriptor.

Cheers

Yes, as Panache says, my Lamont has half the set. This is ok with me because I'm only interested in the pastel and earthy colors it has, but I don't want anyone snapping at me about how it's not a true Lamont tartan. Also, the tweed shoes are made from what looks to be very heavy twill weave fabric on a rubber bottum. I've heard people call them Vans.[QUOTE=Oldhiker;457364]Ted, what is this lamont tartan you refer to? QUOTE]

I could go with a white shirt and brown wool tie. That brown shirt is one step down from that, but has a nice look to it with a collar and a few buttons. I hope polo shirt is the right word for that. I guess I should take both shirts and both sporrans, te he.

Polo shirts and fur don't mix!

Guess I could take my brown belt. It's kind of on the casual side, and I think I would put the leather sporran with that. On the other hand, I'm not a very formal looking kind of guy because I have long hair that I usually put in a ponytail. That can always go in my collar though.

Even though some "purest" say that fur sporrans can go with everything, and others contend that fur is for hunting only, modern usage normally reserves fur for more dressy times.

Go with something casual. - I would wear a belt.... only because I think it completes the kilt.

Of course back in my pant days, I always wore a belt with everything also. Maybe it's a security thing with me.

Stay warm, have fun, go proud!

Ted, where did you find those tweed shoes?? I love the idea of them! I've jst never seen any before.

And my ponytail is very formal, thankyouverymuch

Oh dear, the tweed shoes came from a store in a mall. I wish I could remember, but they are called Castros and come in a box that looks a little like a cigar box. They're not reall formal, but just look very nice with kakhi pants and so on. I don't know if they are reall wool, but it feels like it. Looking at them, they are built a little like those DYI moccasins, no laces, and they have a regular bottem with no raised heel. I don't know that much about how shoes are made.[QUOTE=TheKiltedWonder;457473]Ted, where did you find those tweed shoes?? I love the idea of them! I've jst never seen any before.

Ponytails and long hair are traditional if you think about it.]

[Bugbear]

Thanks everybody for your input. It looks like I will take both a formal shirt and tie as well as the less formal brown shirt. I'll take the bunny sporran and the leather sporran, and throw a belt in there too. It could go any which way and that should cover it. I'll plan on the ponytail either way, te he.

[Oldhiker]

thanks now I understand the Half designation. Can we see a picture?

[Bugbear]

Hi Oldhiker, I'm very sorry, I don't have any way to do pictures yet. Panache has posted pictures of the same SWK kilt. Although I think Panache has a little different style in accessories than I would go with. Hope some day to be able to provide pictures for you all.

** I just got the picture up there, LOL! Quite a bit late too.

bunny sporran?

Is that like the trucker model or the kid's one?

Sort of serious question.
