The Tartan was commissioned by "The Bay" in 2002. Until I discovered it the Tartan was only available to authorized vendors of "The Bay" and was not available to the public.
Thank you. The reason for my interest, is that I "portray" a NWC/HBC employee in the PNW (1820s) & do historical research in this area.

I am corrently saving my pennies to purchace another kilt & I have been looking @ the "HBC' remment" # 3628., to wear on"casual occations.
My current "Black Douglas" tartan was made for me by Patrick @ North Channel Kilts in Seattle. This is a copy of a 1820s pattern ( high waisted & rolled pleats etc.)
