    To all intents and purposes, Campbell and the Black Watch are the same tartan. The Black Watch is called a universal tartan, meaning anyone can wear it.

    Some thing I tell people all the time - When you wear the kilt, you become the expert, not the man looking at you. If you don't tell anyone they won't know.

    Regards

    I worried about this at first when I put my Cooper cap badge on my balmoral, most of the time I'm in a tartan kilt it's my Black Stewart SWK but no one has ever noticed the difference in clan or at least has never mentioned it.

    Rufus, There have been mixed reports on doing business with this guy.
    Bad reports to BBB
    Good reports from my clan association (Clan MacLachlan Association of North America)
    So this is informational only. Not an endorsement.
    I have an order in with him for a MacLachlan Hunting tartan kilt.
    I don't want to bore everyone or rehash things on the board so PM me if you want more details.

    Ruffus--why not? I wear my Campbell kilt and sport a Bruce kilt pin for my wife's side of the family. If anyone asks, tell them you got permission from the online kilting community.

    by the way...Welcome to the site!

    Yes indeed! I "mix & match" that way often -- not wearing "some other clan's" tartan but wearing either one of "my" (Douglas) tartans or a non-clan tartan with either a Douglas cap badge on my balmoral or that of the Barony of Rachane (with permission of the current Baron as a Fellow of the Barony).

    No one has ever, ever noticed or commented.
