X Marks Tartan Vote

[Jerry]

I personally like #2 b/c it looks muted. I like muted tartans. But I will go with the flow...

Hank, after the first is developed and if it becomes a successful venture, is there any chance of adoptig the other also as another xnarks clan tartan? I really do like both, and most clans do have several tartans. It seems a waste not to use both good looking designs. I know there is some expense involved, so maybe a successful first tartan could pay for the second at a later date?

I like the Idea of an Xmarks clan tartan, the #2 could easily be a dress tartan or something like that. We need a hunting tartan, but I guess the #1 is dark enough to be a hunting tartan.

I much prefer the first tartan. The second one appears a wee bit too white, sort of like a female Highland Dancer's kilt.

My vote goes to #1--more color.

What's the purpose of the tartan here? Are we looking to register one for our own use as the X Mark the Scot forum members or some such thing? I noticed that #1 seems to be the one in the background of this page... is that what this was for?

In any case, I like tartans with one dominant color with the other colors in just enough quantity to give it some life. Ergo, I like #1.

We're working on having a mill produce the tartan so that X markers can buy the material and have it made into ties, kilts, vests, what-have-you.

We're getting very close to a completed deal, here. Look for a post in "general Kilt Talk" before the end of the week, I'd guess.

Just wandering by...can't recall if I voted or not or for which...now, looking at them I like #2 since it seems darker and appears to have a larger pattern to it.

I don't seem to have had my say on this matter yet, although I thought I had. If I am not too late (I've not been around these parts for a few weeks!), I have to say that I much prefer Tartan No.1., especially with a kilt in mind.

However, bearing in mind earlier discussions regarding import duties, taxes and shipping costs, I am not so sure that I am going to be able to afford a kilt length of this exclusive tartan after all. I'll just have to wait until we have the final, confirmed details of the true costs before making up my mind. It now seems most unlikely that the fabric will be ready for me to collect when I am in Vancouver (31st July - 13th August). That would have reduced the overall costs to me quite significantly. Ah well, you can't win 'em all!!

Not to worry Ham, I'm sure that if you want some of the Tartan we can figure out a way to get it and send it to you marked as a gift or something.

Just so everyone knows, we're going with tartan #1 for now.

Hamish, it's going to be close, but it very well might be ready for you.
