USA Kilt in Macmillan tartan

**McMillan** · 13th March 06, 12:37 PM

Hello all. Does anyone have a picture of a completed USA Kilt in Macmillan? I'm particularly interested in the casual model - but a pic of any model would be helpful. I haven't had a ton of sucess finding a kilt pic in the Macmillan modern black that Rocky offers.

Although they look nothing alike, I'm currently torn between the Macmillan (for obvious reasons) and Scottish National for my next kilt.

Thanks!

I'm going to be ordering some yardage of the p/v black MacMillan tartan next week from Marton Mills. My wife will be making that into my next kilt, plus, my daughter wants a kilted miniskirt in that tartan.

I'll post a pic of a larger swatch when I receive the fabric, if you don't find a better pic before that.

If you do find one, post it up. I've never seen a good size pic of a kilt in the MacMillan tartan.

Thanks.

If I come across any pics myself, I'll post them.

There is a thread somewhere around here where I asked the same question. The PV is from MM but going thru a supplier.

Check all the sources out. Good luck.

Iñaki, did you end up ordering from them?

Hey Mc,

If you're gonna order your "gang colors" clan tartan, do yourself a favor and spring for the semi-traditional. Its worth it when it comes to blood.

Thanks for the advice, Riverkilt. Down the road I'd like to have a custom 8 yard wool kilt in one of the Macmillan tartans.

I'm attracted to the casual because I want something for hiking this summer - something for some hot weather that will most likely get pretty dirty. Something with greens or blues or browns seems like a better option that a kilt with yellow at this point.

Hmm...So many tartans...so little time...

Boy, I'm still looking for a pic of this tartan in a kilt too...the swatches just don't show it well. Would be cool to see a photo of a finished kilt.

Thinking about getting a MacMillan tartan kilt in honor of my 5 great grandfather John MacMillan who came over from Edinburgh in the mid 1700s...but just can't make the switch from swatch to finished kilts.

Searched the site again, with no luck.

Sure would like to see a pic of a MacMillan tartan kilt...the tartan Rocky sells...the hot yellow and red tartan would be a trip but it'll be a while before I can afford another hand sewn what with my RAF in the works.
