At a guess it is 16oz possibly 18 oz kilt type cloth of "modern" hue and I would guess that it is at least 70 years old.I would quite happily(if I was able to keep it in place, that is!) carry it wearing my "ancient" hued kilt. Yet again, we here do not bother with all this matching up carry-on, as long as the clan tartan is the same, the hue matters not one bit. If you don't believe me, find some pictures of the Atholl Highlanders, you will see at least three variations of colour of the same clan tartan.
Jock,
do all day/Laird's plaids have fringe on the ends? Or does it really matter?
Just curious.
