Tartan ID-> Black and Blue

**MacWage** · 16th September 07, 05:47 PM

Here is some material I have had for a few years. Best I can tell, it is a HIGH END soft wool saxony (100% wool) and somewhere around 16 oz.
Anyone recognize this as a "real"/registered tartan, or is it something else (like a fashion tartan).

The colors are darker than they photographed. The blue is deeper and less royal.

(I am using the ubiquitous Buzz Kidder sporrans as a base for size/sett-> they are 2 generations, in three very different constructions)

It doesn't seem to like the "edit" at the moment, so the third pict is SUPPOSED to be:

Nice looking tartan, but I don't recognize it. Hopefully Matt Newsome will chime in and we'll know what it is

By the way, I have looked and looked, but found nothing. Though, as this forum is SO good at IDing the odd and unusual tartans, I would make one final effort before I assume (you know the rhyme) a "new" name for it.
Right now, I call it the "Batman Tartan."

Nice name. However, I have a feeling Matt can shed some light on it.

Wouldn't that make it "Wayne Black"?

THAT would Give away the "secret identity!"
Batman is REALLY John Wages, uh, I mean "Bruce Wayne"

(I have GOT to stop DOING THAT . . .

I say to much.)

It is BATMAN TARTAN . . .
(If another name didn't come FIRST)

But if it was the "Batman Tartan", wouldn't it have a yellow stripe somewhere?

What about a REAL superhero???

How 'bout "Beast Tartan" after all he was a McCoy!!!

Maybe "Thayer", since he was the lead guitar for "Black 'n Blue" (now guitar for KISS)
