What's interesting about Strathmore is their statement:
Strathmore’s W60 Quality Stock Tartan is a 100% pure new wool, worsted tartan kilting and upholstery fabric.
It has a weight of 415gms per metre (13.5/14oz. per yard) at width 142cm (56 inches), and is available in over 120 authentic stock tartan designs in both Modern and Old Colours, Wilson of Bannockburn interpretations, and muted colours.
Our W60 is a thoroughbred, medium weight kilting fabric, woven with a good quality selvedge and intended primarily for use as a gent’s kilting material.
Now, looking through their tartan list I only see these listed as "WOB"

Are these the only commercially available tartans in purported Wilson's colours?
