    It's definitely not Black Watch. Black Watch has an A-B-A-C repeat, with the B and C blocks being different (one blue block has two double black stripes, like this tartan has, but the other block has a single centered double black stripe). And the green block in Black Watch has only a single black stripe, not a double one. And the proportions are wrong - the green block should be proportionately smaller.

    The picture looks like the piece doesn't have a kilting selvedge. So, the white thread is a moot point and would be hidden in the hem that you'd have to put in this kilt.

    Could make a nice kilt with a hem!

    I'm impressed that they know the term blackwatch. For the majority of folks, anything that's blue and green is blackwatch.

    You can always hit this site to check on ANY tartans out there. Click on the link and make sure to bookmark it. I use it all the time.
