Nick, this is much easier to navigate to what one is interested in than before. As I am waiting on my Gordon Balmoral from you, I looked a the Gordon bunch. If you are serious about good photos of real cloth, I'd suggest making sure you get at least a full sett of a given tartan in each picture. For example, the 18 oz Gordon modern from Batley is dreadful, and the 16 oz from Marton is nearly as bad. I know it's a monumental task to review all photos for representativeness, but otherwise the customer has to struggle and guess. Generally, Edgar and Lochcarron don't seem to have this problem, although it does show up here and there.
Thanks for your attention to continuous improvement and customer service! Hoping fervently that Kiltstore can beat the projected dispatch date for my tank. I've got 2 HGs to attend.
