Dalgliesh is a custom tartan weaver, so within certain well-defined constraints, one can choose the colors for their tartan. For details see ...

Just enter a tartan name in the "Find by Name" field, eg "Douglas". Then click on any of the (usually) three variants to see a larger (computer generated) swatch of the cloth.

Below you will see the statement, "You may also select alternative yarns from our stock yarn range ...". Presumably, you can select any color shown in the "stock yarn range". Just click on that highlighted phrase to view the range of yarn colors available for substitution.

I have no taste. I merely asked Matt for the Douglas Reproduction colors in hard tartan. He did the rest. The best I can tell, Matt chose the default Douglas Blue reproduction colors. Dalgliesh shows a "Douglas Black" on the same page, but it appears to be a mistake on the web page.

Again, good luck on your quest for tartan.
