    Question What tartan is this?

    I acquired two pieces of wool off eBay and have not been able to identify or determine if in fact the plaids are actually a known tartan or just a plaid. I am in the process of sewing a kilt from both of them and even though they were originally acquired in Peru South America several years ago, and would be most pleased if they were actually a specific tartan. I really like both and hope that the dred comes through in the pics and the gold stripe in the gray/green plaid. Thanks for any insight anyone may wish to offer.

    That's a link to your hard drive, not a website.

    Even if they are only fashion plaids I think they will make very nice looking kilts.

    99% positive they're bumbees (fashion materials). If you look at the grey one, the red stripes are only running warp-wise (horizontal) and the grey stripe only runs weft -wise (vertical). It's not UNHEARD of (think Welsh tartans), but it is uncommon.

    The other tartan isn't one I've ever seen before.
