I take it your tartan is coming from Lochcarron? I look forward to pics when its done!
Yes, the fabric is Locharron. It is their 16 oz Strome, though. Not their lighter weight stuff.
I had Matt send me swatches of both the Ancient and the Weathered, as I was thinking one might be too "pink" for my tastes. But what struck me most (and sealed the choice between the two) was that the weathered was almost devoid of green. Matt just happened to post this photo below, today, on Facebook. It seems that right after he finished my ancient, he was beginning a weathered, and posted samples side by side.
My ancient colors are on the left, and the weathered sample, is on the right.
