    Those are both good ideas. I think the safest road is to order a small sample of a similar woven tartan and see how it compares. That's brilliant.

    Just be sure to order the samples from the mill you're going to have weave the tartan. And, while you're at it, have them send you threads so that you can see what the choices are.
