Dang, and I just started playing around with designs....

For what it's worth, number 2.

It seems to have more in it, for the eye and I think it would last, in terms of taste, more than the first one. (the example being one of our kin felt No2 was growing on him, and I think long term that it may come out as the fave.)

Give it a week or so, and come back to have another look and see if you feel the same...

I personally like #2 b/c it looks muted. I like muted tartans. But I will go with the flow...

The poll so far puts #1 way out in front but I fancy #2. I suspect it will darken in reality and be much easer on the eye. I suspect #1 will be to dark.

2 just gives me a better vibe, no other way to put it

I am in favor of #1. I like darker colors better than
lighter (dress) colors. Has anyone made a mock up of
how either would look pleated to the Stripe or Sett?

I like Number 1 more then 2 With that being said if the grey in #2 was a tad darker I would be all over it. I know that it may come out darker once it is woven and all that jazz, BUT at the same time it might come out lighter.... I think I would rather have #1 evn if it came out a little darker or lighter. If #2 were to come out much lighter then I see it one my moniter it would look alot LIKE a dress tartan. I wear way more dark things then light and would not have much use for the lighter tartan i don't think. [/b]

Hank, after the first is developed and if it becomes a successful venture, is there any chance of adoptig the other also as another xnarks clan tartan? I really do like both, and most clans do have several tartans. It seems a waste not to use both good looking designs. I know there is some expense involved, so maybe a successful first tartan could pay for the second at a later date?

I like the Idea of an Xmarks clan tartan, the #2 could easily be a dress tartan or something like that. We need a hunting tartan, but I guess the #1 is dark enough to be a hunting tartan.
