    Why the hate for Campbell?

    Okay, I admit the title is a little link-baitish. I know the politics and history.

    All things considered, why is it so hard to get the Campbell tartan from the off-the-rack manufacturers. Campbell is arguably on of the larger clans yet no rentals agencies, Stillwater, UT Kilts, or other such companies seem to even consider it an option. I am often offered the option to custom order a lot of the fabric and then have the kilt made. (I already have a beautifully made Geoffrey Taylor "tank" which I love. )

    I want some games kilts and pub-crawlers but am often stuck with Royal Stewart, Wallace, Black Watch, or other "universal" tartans. Certainly no slight is aimed at the families I am able to buy. It just seems like there is an industry bias against my Clans. (Cunningham and MacNeil are also rare).

    Politics aside, what gives?
    Loyalty, Friendship, and Love....The Definition of family.
