Identifying and finding ancient stewart tartan

**Cool Bob** · 27th September 08, 08:30 AM

I'm trying to identify this tartan from a photo that Barbara posted a long time ago. I think it's an old stewart but I'm trying to find it in 16oz weight and have had no luck yet. any help?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info, but on tartan web it's only available in 8oz and on the loch website there's no mention of the weight, do you think we can get it in different weight? any source outthere?

Thanks again
Robert

The Lochcarron page I sent you to is their Strome weight aka 16oz.

CoolBob,

The proper name for this Tartan is "Weathered Stewart, Old Sett".

I remember Barb making this Kilt. Please know that this Tartan has an
incredibly large Sett. About 15".
Even Barb had the bolt of fabric sitting around for a few years till she felt confidant enough to figure out how to pleat it.
