Question about flashes...

[creagdhubh]

Generally when this tartan is pleated the kiltmaker has to create a pattern for it, as it would be impossible to pleat to either sett or stripe given the huge repeat size.

Intriguing indeed. I've always been quite fascinated by the Ogilvie tartan - i.e., it's colour scheme, complex sett, historical apsect, etc. If someone ever commissioned an Ogilvie kilt to be made by you Matt, or if you ever decide to make one for yourself, it would be very interesting to see this process being done, step by step. Either way, photos of each particular step would be awesome - perhaps a nice topic for your blog - this is all hypothetically speaking, naturally.

Cheers,
