| | | Perthshire District Weathered Tartan?
A little while back I heard mention of a Perthshire District Weathered tartan, but have yet to track it down.
Has anybody heard of this tartan?
If so, do you know a source for it where I can either see it on-line or send for a sample swatch?
After I get my Newsome box pleat in Modern Mackay, I'd like my next kilt to be Perthshire, in honor of my Scobee kin who's name originated in this district.
I'm partial to the Drummond of Perth (Modern), but would like to see all examples before my final decision.
Thanks.
Perthshire (Modern):
(Lochcarron 16oz)
Drummond of Perth (Ancient):
(House of Edgar 13oz)
Drummond of Perth (Modern):
(House of Edgar 16oz)
Drummond of Perth (Muted):
(House of Edgar 13oz)

The ScotWeb store shows a weathered Drummond of Perth among the results of a search for "Perth."
Regards,
Rex.

Lochcarron does PErthshire (Drummond of Perth) in the weathered colors. I can order a sample swatch for you if you want. Just let me know.

I always find a sample to be nice, the look (& feel) of the material as oppossed to just viewing on a monitor is important to me.
Thanks again!

Just wanted to let you know that the sample of the Weathered Perthshire arrived in todays mail. Thanks!
Drummond of Perth Weathered
(Lochcarron 16oz)
...now my decision has become even tougher 
p.s. -- if you haven't yet done so Matt, check out my thread on the McDonell of Keppoch tartan in this sub-section. I have a question that perhaps you might be able to answer for me(?) 
Thanks again!
