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?
Richard,
Allegedly, some of HoE Old & Rare range are also based on Wilsons' shades. In both their, and Strathmore's case, they are wide of the mark. Here are the Strathmore graphics overlaid on Wilsons' specimens of the same tartans.
