    In response to a couple of PMs. The cloth will be Elliots 16oz weight matched as closely as possible to the original shades and setting. Although the original piece doesn't have a herringbone selvedge the setting is perfect for a traditional blue selvedge mark. Here's a reconstruction of the origianl width of the cloth with a styalised HB selvedge.

    The original cloth is 24 inches wide but as the reconstruction will be wider I will need to add another half sett, more or less, to fit Robin's stardard 30" width. I'll try to ensure that the non-HB selvedge finishes on a pivot meaning that the cloth could be joined to make a traditional plaid should anyone wish too.
