I think it would be fantastic if someone were to resurrect some of the pre-ban tartans and have them woven for sale, or at least have them displayed on their site for small batch custom ala Dalgliesh.

As I have no family tartan myself, and being a bit of a history geek, I'd be inclined to head toward one of this historic tartans, ESPECIALLY if I were going to do a box-pleat like Matt did.

I'd wear it with a big shaggy goat/sheep hair sporran during the day too
