4 yard 16 oz Stewart of Bute kilt
A few months back I contacted Figheadair and asked him for 4 yards of 16oz tartan. This is what he sent me:
The tartan is one of a number that prepared for the Vestiarium Scoticum but not included in the published version. As such it can be dated to c1829 but was not widely produced until the mid-20th century. Figheadair had a run done in this large sett and shades for a client and had some left over which is why he could offer it at such a good rate to which I could not refuse.
Spread the word he kindly asked so this is me posting my work and complying with his request:
