It's a custom weave from Strathmore actually. Our local St. Andrew Society (Baton Rouge) commissioned a bolt some years back and haven't sold it all off yet. It's also nice because they've not raised the price with the rest of tartan wool (I think it was $65/yrd double width, that's about $10 less than a stock tartan from Strathmore, but that was the going rate when it was originally bought). :-) I don't know exactly what colors were used since I was not involved in either the design or weaving of this one. I'm pretty sure that the blue is some sort of custom dye though. The green may be a stock color. One definitely can see the blue from a distance. Thanks. :-)
