I absolutely love the work Peter is doing. His post and academic approach to tartan is awesome.
What I'd like to know is that since THERE ARE tartan remnants that pre-date the Sobieski frauds and other so-called "Clan submissions", why has no one bothered to possibly organize and present them maybe under a number scheme. I've sen DC's reproduction line....It just looks like weathered tartans proxy modern designs (Excluding the Gordon and maybe a couple more).

I would love to see one of the weavers take this into account and have a tartan selection based on designs that are truly authentic. Whether these tartans were associative, or just fashion, I'd still feel a real link to my heritage if i could wear one of these.
