    I'm glad to see your son is wearing what looks to be the MacLean of Duart Red Muted, woven by the house of Edgar. Do you know if there is any historical evidence that this tartan was worn in 1746?

    The earliest example of MacLean of Duart on record is in the Cockburn Collection (c. 1810-1815). However, the House of Edgar's muted color range comes rather close to some late eighteenth century/early nineteenth century natural dyed tartans I have seen, so it's great for reenacting pre-analine dye periods.

    Thank you, Matt. As you probably know, I have a kilt and doublet made out of tartan from the HoE Old and Rare range.
