    Thrift store kilt

    My lover just brought home a 100% worsted kilt, apparently brand new, made in the UK, along with a sporran.





    Any idea on the tartan? I've started a "reverse lookup" on the sett, but it'll take forever at this rate. Suggestions?

    Yup, that's the National Millennium tartan ,though the colors look off from what I've seen from Lochcarron cloth.

    Yes. Sadly, digital photography is not my forté. In real life, it does look like Lochcarron. Do you know any history behind it? I see it was introduced by Lochcarron in 1999, but that's all I've found so far.
