Glamis Castle Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan

[OC Richard]

For me it's an aesthetic exercise, a study in how changes in proportion impact the overall look.

Then there's the colour thing which I haven't got into much. Certainly the tartan looks dramatically different when the green is dark.

I also tried one with the blue being dark, it looked really nice, though the blue is supposed to be Azure.

Anyhow I've come up with a "threadcount" CGI thing that matches the NMS tartan suit.

Here in order of the width of the Azure and the narrowness of the Red are three relics.

My preference is for the look at left, the West Highland Museum trews. I think when the red stripe between the Azure stripes becomes around the same size as the other red band my "eye" isn't liking the overall sett as much.

Of course with Royal Stewart they doubled-down on the width of that red stripe, making it dominate the sett.
