    Tartan Identifcation help please

    I've got about 2.75 yards of double width (60") wool tartan material in this tartan, it's pretty old but clean, in great shape, and a little mothbally smelling... but I have been totally unable to ID the tartan. Is anyone able to help?

    Looks sorta kinda like the Thomson Camel, but it isn't. Maybe a fashion tartan(?) Do you know where it came from?

    This looks like it follows the same basic motif as a lot of fashion tartans that came out a few decades ago, most of which were given "Glen-" names, such as Glen App, Glen Boig, Glen Shee, Glen Trool, etc.

    Most of them were simply color variations on a similar theme. I think it likely that this cloth is a fashion tartan after the same vein.

    I've seen this tartan on ebay and it is a fashion tartan as Matt says it's likely to be. Don't know which one? It certainly is beautiful.
