Modern weathered tartans

[figheadair]

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.

In short Jock, yes. They might dress the story up with all sorts of claims but the fact is that they've never done any research on which to base these spurious claims.

Haven't I seen the line that the weathered tartans are what the regular tartan would look like if it had been buried in a peat bog for some period of time?

No, that's the 'story' replating to Reporduction colours - see the Colours link on my research page.

Rocky,

Are you sure it was not Wilsons of Bannockburn? I'm not aware of another tartan weaver named Wilsons from 150 years ago. Peter?

Agreed Matt. I've never heard of another Wilsons firm. Some lost/obscured in translation me thinks.
