    Peter,

    Yes, not too many of these floating around, I'd assume. It was a special weave by DC Dalgliesh. And the kilt maker was Wallace Catanach, an XMTS member.

    A year or so later, I had Wallace make three more, of the same tartan, kilts for my two sons and myself. However, I chose to lighten up the green, which turned out to be less than I wanted. And, the 24 yards that we had made, before prices went skyrocketing, were not quite to the standard that Dalgliesh is noted for. For whatever reason, the material has a pucker to it. I, along with Wallace, tried to steam it out and press it. No luck! Anyway, here's the "other" color MacDonagh tartan:




    As a side note, looks who's watching me through the window....my Airedale, Artan.
