Are New Tartans Too Complicated & Trendy?
Переглядів 54911 годин тому
We were asked if we feel modern tartans (that is ones designed recently, not ‘modern’ as in color palette) are becoming more complex, more intricate and how we feel about it. The answer is of course yes - as seen in new designs like our own Appalachian Folklore, there tends to be a lot more subtle color shifts and gradations in newer designs. Not always,. But it is a trend. We also ee the adven...

What Makes a Great Burns Supper?
Переглядів 68416 годин тому
We all have our own preferences when it comes to Burns Night and Burns Suppers. Some prefer a very formal setting with an air of elegance. Others prefer something more homey, rustic, bawdy and a tad silly. The best suppers may be the ones that split the difference. Regardless of the supper setting - it’s always about the people attending. This became apparent when we compared our favorite memor...

    I'm lovin' these new series of historic shows: Bridgerton 🇬🇧🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 'Vikings' 🏞️⚔️🌍, 'Vikings: Vahalla' 🇸🇪🇩🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (which I am saddened it's only lasting 3 seasons 😭🥲😥), and 'The Last Kingdom 🏰📜🐎'. Lots of these feature either notable figures throughout their respective histories, and for that these will forever be some of my favorite historical shows ✨☺️🩷. Definitely a must-see for these, if anyone _hasn't_ watched them 📋 ✅.

    Rocky I truly understand the evolution of art that you are speaking of how one period of art is actually the foundation for the next period of art take for instance the American Beauty Tartan that you designed that is truly a piece of tartan that has been built on what I really call the classic American Tartan the Rob Roy the traditional Rob Roy the red and black

    To add to my previous comment, if the total length of the tie will result in the back being longer than the front when the front if just right, tie a larger know. As an example if you tied a half Windsor, retie a full Windsor.

    I'm as Scottish as you can get and my clan has its own tartans but I've never worn any of them because I don't like the colours. I've always chosen my kilts based on what I liked the look and feel of the most. However, it's a good idea to do a little research before you decide because you could accidentally wear the tartan of a football team that you don't like or a political party that you don't agree with or a military unit that might find it disrespectful etc.

    They both appeal to me, and even on “simpler” tartans, the color palettes give some diversity. My first focus was getting kilts for families I’m descended from, but if they become available in marled yarn version, I’d get one of it looked great to me. I do have App folklore & Nordic Heritage + plan to buy the renewed Lunar - great examples.

    I'm very excited about a Grand Canyon tartan. I'm imagining reddish-orangey-tans and browns with a brilliant blue or turquoise for the grand river and perhaps some green for the local flora. The emphasis should be on the rocky tones with the blue/green as an accent, but a bit more prominent than a tiny 4 or 6 thread stripe. Don't disappoint! (No pressure.) 🤞😁
