Could you direct me towards a picture of the original?

There's only one known example and that's a silk piece that was held by the Scottish Tartans Society but I've no idea where it is now. I wove it in Wilsons of Bannockburn's shades (weavers of the original specimen). I'll try and find a sample and post a pic.

Thanks, I'd love to see that as well.

Well, I don't have anything to add to this discussion except:

1. Lovely lady on your arm. Good on ya!

2. Shorten up your tie next time so that it just comes to the top of your belt plate.
