PCE Stuart v Stewart CE
I'm checking on the various mills which produce PCE Stewart/Stuart tartan.
Interestingly, DC Dalgliesh has two heavyweight stock tartans
Prince Charles Edward Stuart 591288
Stewart Charles Edward 531166
Only the latter is illustrated on their site. It seems to resemble the familiar PCE Stewart tartan. So what is 591288?
House of Edgar offers "Pr Charles Edward Stuart" in medium weight 864 and heavy weight 1633.
Lochcarron only lists Prince Charles Edward Stewart in Reiver 10oz. I have a kilt made up in it here (EDIT: the kilt is in 13oz) the sett size is just under 6" and the selvedge shows the blue stripe which borders the red empty square.
I would be very interested if anyone could post photos of kilts made up in any or all of these versions, and/or the sett size and what part of the sett is at the selvedge.
Thanks! Richard
