    I don't seem to be able to locate the brown and black tartan.

    The green and blue tartan looks like Murray of Atholl (MacGregor-Hastie Collection).

    Here is a nice reverse tartan finder if it helps.

    Hmm.. looks like you have a nice quantity of each

    Yes , Indeed !

    It's good quality PV fabric, available in a town close to where we live (Annecy).

    The idea is, you may have guessed, to provide ourselves with low priced material so we can offer Double Box Pleated kilts at interesting prices;

    You can PM us if you want details.

    Oh ! And we also found what seems to be a gorgeous Stuart Black (without the blue line though).


    Thanks again for your help.

    The best 'SCOTCH' Design......obviously the fabric was not made in Scotland or it would have been the best Scot's Design.

    Isn't Scotch a drink??

    Thanks to the reverse tartan finder you linked me up with, my tan tartan seems like something in between Braemar Camel Modern and Blair Atholl ...

    Actually, it used to be quite common for Scottish people to refer to themselves as Scotch rather than Scots. It's only in the last few decades that things have changed and people have started to take offence.
    I mean, Scotch is called Scotch because it is Scotch... after all.

    It's close, but not quite.
