    ...and I agree...that would be one slimy kilt...eeeeeyoooo!

    So,I wonder, are we looking at" modern weathered" colours from the mills of today, that are an "interpretation" and an "approximation" of how colours might, could, maybe, perhaps, but not necessarily look like after 200 years of use? Or, are we looking at a cunning plan to offer another colour scheme to sell more tartan?I really don't mind that, it is business after all, but I do like to know these things before parting with hard earned cash.
