    Government Sett thread count?

    Does anyone have a pointer to a site which might have a thread count for the Government sett? Alternatively, does anyone simply have the thread count for the sett, and a willingness to post it?

    If, by government sett, you mean Black Watch, try this...

    132 tartan setts PDF

    It is a PDF, so you'll have to have some sort of program to open PDFs.

    Hamner and I were talking about coming up with a tartan for our home-town University, and so this is sort of a first stab at a Wildcat tartan. It's the BW, with red swapped for green, and white for black. Wha'd'y'all think?

    Wildcats tartan?

    Sounds a bit garish in my opinion. I have a red, white and black kilt (Cunningham). I only wear it occasionally and then only because its my family tartan. Personally I have a preference for wearing more muted tartans such as BW itself, but each to their own.

    I'm thinking - McTablecloth!!!

    Maybe a bit of toning down - cream not white, deep crimson or maroon rather than the screaming red.

    Definitely go with a darker red and blue; and this could just be me, but switching them in the understripes might tone it down a little.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
