So, apart from the different shades of blue and green, the black "tramlines" on the Campbell are thicker than on the Black Watch. Note that this is only the STA's opinion on the matter. I assume both ITI 1 and ITI 207 are derived from actual woven samples, and woven samples can and have varied over the past, especially in a tartan as commonly used as the Government sett.
Ah, HA!! I think that must be it. My eye was seeing that SOMEthing was different, but I didn't have enough "tartan-smarts" to figure it out. [Side note: I'd really like to remedy that some day and become, if not exactly tartan-smart, at least not so much of a tartan-idiot. Hmmm...Matt have you ever thought about a "Tartan For Dummies" book?]

I appreciate your help in the matter MofH, and apologize for the delay in my response to this.
