A tartan similar to the Classic Barbour Tartan

Does Anybody know a tartan similar to the Classic Barbour Tartan? It is a corporate tartan and seemingly not available. You find a pattern in my personal gallery:

Woldgang,

Take a look at the Australian and Ulster tartans.

Ulster Weathered is similar, also the Home/Hume Hunting Tartan.

Whilst looking through the tartan books last night, I discovered another similar tartan, the weathered Robertson hunting tartan.

Cheers,

T.

My tip: If you really want that tartan, have someone weave it. It may cost a bit more, but in my experience I'd rather pay a bit more for a kilt that I'm going to really enjoy wearing than pay a bit less for a kilt that I don't really want.

For custom weaves, give Peter MacDonald a call. http://www.scottishtartans.co.uk/

He can provide the cloth in any tartan you want, and can also connect you with a kilt maker if you need.
Aye,
Matt Newsome
