I like it and its close, to my eyes, but would suggest a double black where the singles are. It's a bit more "cougar" than "wildcat" IMHO with the large amount of light brown. Just throwing out there to think about adding a wee bit of yellow to get those "gold" tones. See OC Richards Blue & Gold tartan thread for discussion of "gold" in tartan.
