    I agree with Daibhidh O'Baoighill. It's Blue Douglas Muted. Here's a picture of some that I have. As you can see, the ticket says "Blue Douglas Muted".

    To me I don't think it is a Douglas because the width of the triple stripe (light blue-dark ?--light blue( down the center of the brownish broad stripe is too narrow compared to those in the various forms of Douglas. Spent my time looking at a lot of Douglases lately as I am considering ordering one since we are a sept of Douglas, and I like the variants better than the modern Douglas.

    Not sure if this is a named tartan at all.

    many thanks for all who found it for me.

    and the link for ForresterModern just to prove that it is a real tartan!!

    http://www.scotweb.co.uk/tartan/Doug...e-Muted/70554?


    and it won't be long before I have a kilt in it myself, I found the remnants of just over 3 metres double width for £2 a metre and it's pure new wool as well, so rather a bargain I think!

    I guess I will have to just bite my tongue on this one. Yours looks like Scotweb's in your link. Thanks.

    But it still looks to me like your tartan and the one in the previous post have different widths to the blue-?brown-blue triple stripe in the middle of the broad brown one. The broader triple stripe is what I have tended to see in the various Douglases I have seen, although I admit I have never before this post seen the Douglas Blue Muted (more interested in the Douglas Ancient red and Ancient Blue/green). Learn something new every day.
