It's good to actually be able to see what you'll be getting before you buy. I noticed a few things about your tartans, I hope you don't mind some comments.

On a different thread, someone was asking about the size of the sett on your Black Watch tartan, and you replied that it was 8". When I read this, I thought to myself that that was a bit small, as the Black Watch tartan has a very large sett. However, now I see why. Your "Black Watch" isn't really the Black Watch tartan. It's only half the Black Watch sett.

In the actual Black Watch tartan, evey other blue portion of the tartan alternates between a single pair of black lines and a double pair of black lines. Your version only has a single pair of black lines on every blue field, making the tartan only half as big. If I'm not mistaken, the "Black Watch" kilts from Stillwater have the same problem.

So it's not truly the Black Watch tartan (though it's not any other tartan, either). You might want to call it something like "Black Watch, abbreviated sett" or something.

Also, what you call "MacKenzie Modern" is not a MacKenzie tartan. It's hard to tell in the photo if the light color stripe is white or yellow. If it is yellow it is the MacLeod of Harris (aka Hunting MacLeod). If it is white, which I assume it is, then I don't think it's a named design.

It looks like the same mistake was made as with the Black Watch tartan. Only half the MacKenzie sett was actually used. Beneath that photo, what you call "Seaforth of MacKenzie", is the actual MacKenzie tartan. It's based on the Black Watch, with red and white lines added. This tartan should either be called MacKenzie, 78th Regiment, or MacKenzie of Seaforth. (The 72nd Regiment was raised by the last Earl of Seaforth and was amalgamated into the 78th in 1881). In any case, the name "Seafoth of MacKenzie" is not accurate.

Lastly, the Pride of Scotland pattern is a design owne by McColls of Aberdeen and is woven exclusively for them by Lochcarron woolen mills. Just letting you know as I've heard through the grape-vine that MacColls is attempting to crack down on others using their proprietary designs. You may very well have an agreement with McColls, I don't know. All I know this has been a problem for them in the past. Lots of tartan companies have their own house designs, and they have a right to be protective of their assets. Just a head's up!
