Dang it! I was going to go with the Black Watch, but went with Campbell...I already have a wool tank in Campbell. Either way, great choice! Let the jonesing begin...

Not sure if you're being tongue in cheek here...you know that Campbell and Black Watch are two different names for the same tartan, right? Here are two good references, just in case:

I know...same pattern, one is darker than the other. "Same" to me means exacty alike. And I know what the clan chief says...

Sharkman, you got the addiction really badly! There's only one cure -buy more kilts! You can now compare your "Black Watch" tartans. You're going to be happy with your USAKilt.

Here you can see the contrast in military kilts between those worn by the Black Watch and those worn by the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.





Note that the blue is equally dark in both; only the green is a lighter shade in the Argyll's kilts.

For so-called Campbell tartan both the blue and the green are lighter.

Congratulations on your kilt!

What is a "semi-trad" kilt? I've only owned and worn traditional handsewn kiltweight tartan wool 7 to 9 yard kilts.
