    Ancient Macleod of Harris Tartan

    Hello there everyone, a very good New Year to you all.

    This is my first post, its regarding Ancient Macleod of Harris Tartan.

    My fiancee and myself are getting married this year and are trying to source 10mm wide tartan ribbon in Ancient Macleod of Harris Tartan. This has proven to be pretty much impossible to find.

    The only other option we have is to try and find an alternative match to the Ancient Macleod of Harris Tartan, but I do not no where to start. This is why I have came to you lovely folk in faith you can help.

    This is a link to the Kilt from Hector Russell - CLICK HERE

    Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Kind Regards.

    Based on it being 100% wool and supplied in 54" lengths, I have to wonder if this is actually double-width fabric cut in strips from selvedge to selvedge.. . would strongly suggest a query to the supplier before assuming this will do the job of ribbon as normally used at a wedding.
