I am so happy for you Rex, I know what a long road you have traveled to get to this point and from the looks of things its been a worthwhile journey. In my humble opinion - this tartan has all the essential elements to make it the next Isle of Skye or the next Dutch Friendship tartan. Its brilliant, its beautiful, its a classic in the making.
It is, as someone else has said, a real humdinger!
Cheers!

Gee, thanks, Sydnie. That's what I needed - one more temptation.

You are a class act, and I very much remember thinking to myself, if Phil approves, I'm on the right track.
Best regards,
Rex.
