| some inexpensive fabrics
Greetings all, 11 December, 1113amMST
I am always looking on eBay for fabrics and here are a couple current ones:
Item # 250327898039. Red and dark green undercheck with yellow and black overchecks. 5 yds, $8.88/yd USD Fiber content isn't listed
Item #120151143956. Red undercheck with various colors of overchecks. Poly/viscose, 92 yds available @ $7.40/yd USD
Both are in Great Britain, and will probably cost as much or more than the price of the fabric to ship.
I have spent a good deal of time through various sources trying to ID these tartans, and can't turn up any matches.
They both resemble a couple of the MacDonald setts, but then there are a lot of look-alikes out there.
I once designed and registered a tartan for our County Sheriff Department. The gentleman at Scottish Tartans Authority was a little dubious over my design, since it resembles something else, but they registered it nonetheless.
I didn't want to get into an argument with him about resemblances, for if one wants to start splitting hairs, there are a lot of resemblances out there.
Shaw Modern, Davidson Modern, Farquharson Modern, etc etc.
To an untrained eye, they all look pretty much the same.
Fide et Fortitudine, aye!
