Custom Run of Carolina Tartan...Who's In?

[fluter]

I think the nice slate gray of the blue and the olive of the green sets off the rest of the tartan. The Wilsons' colors are a little darker, although nice in their own way.
The thread below has pics of a kilt made up in this same fabric.

Now I remember seeing those pix--- I'll join David and go for either of the color schemes; but, golly! it's a hard choice.

David: if we end up with Wilson's colors, would you be thinking of trying again in a year or so? A smaller single-width order? As you may deduce, I can't choose.

If we can get enough together for the DW I'll probably just go with the majority decision, I'd be hard justified to pay twice as much for single width if DW is available. Besides, who knows which of the two color schemes will be more popular?

Now, if you're interested in a SW order with me, check this out:

This is Matt's best guess for what the Culloden tartan would look like in it's ORIGINAL colors, before fading. LtCol Peter MacDonald has found the original "Culloden Jacket" and has written an article about it, but I can't find a way to link to it on the STA members' website. Now this tartan, in Wilsons' colors, made into a 4yd box-pleat would be pretty awesome.

Cordially,
David
