    Tara/Murphy...

    Anyone have a kilt in the Tara/Murphy tartan and, hopefully, an in action pic to post? No need to post a swatch.

    I'd also be interested in seeing a kilt in this tartan. Maybe Rocky will post a picture of his kilt.

    What timing! I just returned from the USA and brought with me two splendid new semi-traditional kilts from 'USA Kilts' - one of which is in the 'Tara' or 'Murphy' tartan. By sheer coincidence I was just loading some new images to my Photobucket album in preparation for posting them at X Marks this evening, when I saw your request. So, as a 'preview' of that posting, here are three images of the kilt you are enquiring about. Not what you might call "action pics" but I think you can see what a great tartan this is - and what great kiltmakers Rocky and Kelly are:



    and a close-up:


    The obligatory pleats shot:


    I hope these are what you are looking for.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Thanks for that post! And for the pics, Hamish. I was also interested in how a kilt would look, made from the tartan. You helped me make a decision: I am going to buy one.

    My lord, I notice that you are wearing your kilt pin higher than usual on these pictures.
    Are ou getting into the new "old" phase?

    Regards



    BTW, nice kilt, nice pin, I can't believe your garden is already blooming and you rock...

    I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, Hamish, but from what I've read, it seems there would have been little chance that you didn't have photos of yourself in the Murphy Tartan...and great photos, at that!
