  1. The Sillitoe tartan bears a resemblance to gingham, eh?

  3. Thanks for the posting!
    Does anyone know any tartan fabric supply houses in NYC?
    I want to get a pair of pants made and can't seem to find the tartan I'd like.
    Thanks!

  4. (Is there more than one Alice Olive out there?)

    Good call, a fabulous shoe is where I'd be likely to do a tartan. Couldn't wear tartan - would clash with my freckles.

  5. How can the Jimmy Choos not be symmetrical? Note the red dot on the right toe and it's not on the left toe--that would drive most people crazy. For Miss Olive I cannot speak.

  6. I know purple is a royal color and knowing how highlanders felt about royalty, I wonder what sin my ancestors committed to bless me with a purple family tartan?
    I've been to the tartan museum in the Carolina highlands... creepiest manequins I've ever seen.

  7. I'm a native Iowan. Plaid is my favorite color.

  8. I beg your pardon, Your Royal Haawwtness, but have you considered how many massively freckled red-heads wear tartans in Scotland and Ireland to great effect? I refute the very idea of a clash...(the mind races at the thought of Viyella and something about log cabins)....

  9. Hilton- It is and the book mentioned that.

    Zach- I wrote you a post.

    Makaga- B&J. Also Paron has about eight or so just to the left when you walk in. Can't vouch for the quality.

    Alice- Come on. Freckles and Black Watch are my favorite color scheme.

    Joseph- They look pretty darned good to me. Better on Alice.

    Bro- I saw some photos of the NC museum and you nailed it. Wierd stuff and begging for a post.

    unclelooney- I have some funny stories about Webster City.

    Oyster Guy- A hunter sees a beautiful woman getting undressed in a log cabin. Imagine her taking off a Stewart tartan Viyella...He runs to the cabin, kicks open the door and asks, "Are you game?" She smiles and says, "Sure." So he shot her.

  10. Jospeh- Saw it on the tip. Good eye.

  11. Tintin: I have a hard time with patterns and freckles. I was born with a pattern. Therefore, I limit what I add. That's why I prefer my jewelry to be simple, without sparkle (stones). I don't like sparkle, I have 'speckle'.

  12. I am a Campbell, But... I didn't do it (I was too young {by a few centuries}).
    I DIG Tartans... very manly and skull-crusher-kick-ass cool!
