    Preview custom tartan on a kilt?

    Is there any site, freeware, etc. that allows one to view a custom tartan on a kilt? Additionally, I'd like to be able to see it pleated to stripe, but I don't expect much on that front.

    Well I can pretty well figure out the pleats I want, and design a tartan even. I just want to know if there's anything out there that will let me have a little preview of how it will turn out in a kilt. I am confident that what I've designed will look good. But I'd like something to present to our Board of Directors to ease any angst they might have about it.

    The STA has a little gizmo on their web site that "previews" what a tartan will look like made up on a kilt. But that only works for tartans that are included in their index.

    SO... you can submit to them the details of your tartan for inclusion in the International Tartan Index, then wait for the next web site update, and see it previewed in a kilt. Probably not the answer you are looking for! lol....

    THAT was where I got the idea! I couldn't remember for the life of me where I'd seen it though. It won't fix what I wanted, but it might help me figure out how to mess with the graphics on my own. Force me to stretch my graphic design skills...

    Thanks!

    They have some odd colors for the shirt, hose, and jacket.

    How about something low tech? Or relatively low. Colour printer, some tape and patience.
