I know very very little about tartan as of yet but I want to learn. So I will go first and make a fool out of myself and learn something. the photo is a bit blurry but I will do my best.

#1 The right hand edge was not ripped but cut.
#2 It looks like there is a selvage or sewing on the top and bottom. I can not tell exactly what it is.
#3 I am not sure but there could be a line of chain stitching on the right side to keep it from fraying as well, or it could be the beginning thread of a darker stripe.
#4 The selvedge edge seems to be very uneven and the tartan looks distorted.

That is all I can see so far.

What have I got wrong?

Your Obedient Servant,
