    One tartan or two? Assistance requirede

    Jackie Stewart is pictured in a book about slippers. Well his feet are in this photograph, along with his legs.

    I believe he is wearing Hunting Stewart trousers. My question is this: What is the tartan of his chair / ottoman? Is it HS also in a larger sett or is it something else, maybe Leslie green?

    I think hunting Stewart (trews) has a single red and yellow line.

    I think the chair with the red and white lines is a different sett, but I don't know which one. I bet it is one of the Stewart setts.

    The tartan of his trousers looks like Mackenzie to me:

    The trousers are definitely Stewart Hunting. The chair looks to be MacKenzie (Mike S provided an image above), though I half expected it to be Racing Stewart!
