Playing around with some new tartan designs

[figheadair]

I would think that would also prevent a Scottish weaving firm from unilaterally designing/producing/registering? tartans for every county in Ireland, like House Of Edgar did in the 1980s.

Though it's here in the USA, didn't an American firm design tartans for each US state? For every branch of the US military, and police, and fire?

These are purely commercial ventures, aren't they? The designers and producers of these tartans couldn't possibly have a close connexion with EVERY entity one of their tartans are named for.

Richard, you're absolutely right they wouldn't be accepted without some authority. That's why the likes of Dalgliesh (Scotweb) and HoE don't submit most of their designs to the Register.

That in itself is a valuable piece of information, Peter. In the case of a 'found' piece of fabric such as you have shown us many times over many years,, what steps are required for authenticity to be recognised.

Bummer.

I suppose I'll have to abandon my scheme.

I was going to legally change my name to Charles Edward Sobieski Stolberg Guedern Allan Stuart, Count d'Albanie and design (on the computer, never upon the loom!) a couple hundred tartans for a load of Scottish surnames which are currently tartanless.

I've come up with two already:

Brown: he hath twa spranges of brown upon ane brown field

Black: he hath twa spranges of black upon ane black field

Now that right there is funny !

Here's another design I've puttered around with lately. Thoughts?

[figheadair]

This one is a bit too bitty for my liking; too many fine K lines on the B and the size of the other B ground is too small IMO.

[Richrail]

Maybe try a light blue/ sky blue line in place of the white and yellow?

Thank you, gents.

My thoughts, as well, in retrospect, Peter.

Rich, oddly enough, the thought had crossed my mind and I dismissed it at the time. Now looking back you just might be onto something there.
