    I love it, and it will be my next kilt, a Matt Newsome box pleat if I can ever scrape together the funds. What I've read about the Isle itself adds to the charm.

    I don't wear the kilt to attract babes or bees . The IOS is just a little too purpley-pastely for my taste. That said I've only seen the tartan in photos. Maybe seeing one up close in the sunshine will change my opinion... ??

    Not averse, just ambivalent.

    I like it, but it's not for me. I visited Skye once, but didn't see the colors in the tartan - mostly dark stone.

    I figured I'd be in the minority, but only 4 of us out of over 100?


    The colours just don't move me.
    Having said that, I'm sure if it was on me I'd instantly love it. So if anyone wants to make a IOS convert, feel free to send me your excess 36" kilts.

    I agree - it looks great on the ladies though.

    I think it's a very striking tartan. I don't see myself ordering a kilt in it, but I can definitely see myself getting something done up for my girlfriend.
