    I think this IoS may be the perfect tartan to wear on a Brazilian vacation during Carnival.

    My FC Macpherson Red appears to be very dark under artificial lighting, and much brighter under sunlight.

    Frustrating.
    What’s the use of having a camera with a dozen or more settings and none of them capture the look of the thing!

    I suspect that some of the other kilt photos on the FC site suffer from this same circumstance.

    Below is a SCAN of the kilt.
    Better than any of the photos in showing what the tartan looks like live.

    That does look much better, but the colors still strike me as ... well, muppety. Kermit green, Gonzo purple ... the acrylic seems too bright, even in the dark.

    Great idea, scanning. Colors look more like the wool IOS from the scan.

    Of course that brings back the question of whether appropriate permisson was obtained.

    And like others, put it on and show us what it looks like being worn.

    I wore it last night while practicing guitar and doing laundry and assorted other things.
    In real life the colors are bold but NOT blindingly garish.
    The color with the least blend is the olive stripe behind the white line.

    Here’s a blurry pic I took of myself in a mirror in another attempt to capture the look of the thing.
    Note: The chestnut belt color is correct.

    As I said earlier, some dyes just show up more vividly on film (or CCD) than they appear to the human eye.

    Just the same, I'd consider wearing that one if you ever go out in the woods during deer season...

    That would have to be by photo, and the tartan does not photograph well.
    I'll try to figure out a work-around.

    It looks a lot better in the scan. I might buy one of those, yet.
