I've always admire the hodden grey tartan worn by the London Scottish Reg't, as well as the Toronto Scottish Reg't ... recently, I placed a bid on a tam o' shanter flash in hodden grey just to add to my tartan swatch collection. It arrived a few days ago and is just as striking up close as it is in pictures. It's mixture of white and dark brown wools, possibly undyed? I know the original hodden was undyed homespun, but not sure about the MOD version.

Does anyone know if any modern tartan mills could obtain the yarns needed to produce this tartan? I've seen many postings on various boards about people enquiring about hodden grey. I wonder is there is sufficient demand for it to be woven for the civillian market?

All the Best,
