Designing a Tartan

[Captain]

This generator your guys linked to:

is awesome.

I think I'm going to take my clan tartan and redesign it as the Dooley Tartan in oranges and browns (my favorite colors)... so it'll have the same pattern, just different colors... maybe one day I'll actually have the money to get it woven and registered!

This is a pretty new website, where you can seamless design your tartan, and view tartans saved by other users. It has fullpage previews and other cool options.

I'm aware of the requirements. Unfortunately, though we have the knowledge and skills for doing living history, we're all in a point in our lives right now where we can't afford to do the things we'd have to do to get a tartan registered. In the mean time, we're keeping the design close to our collective chest, and not even mentioning where our inspirations came from, lest someone else register something too close to it, before we're ready to proceed.

And I'm sure it's worth every penny for his help, but Matt charges about a grand for tartan design and registration.

Agreed. I really like the Sonoran Scotsmen tartan i designed and I would love to have a weave done of it and have it registered, but for right now, it's going to have to sit on the back burner due to how much it costs. I'm hoping to treat myself for Christmas, or maybe after i get my tax return next year, but it will happen. It's just a matter of when. I'm hoping that nobody here takes the weave that i did, but if they do from now until then, then oh well, that's life.
