Need some Tartan advice

Dee,

If you are a Stewart also, you may be interested to know that the Carolina tartan (the official one) was based off of a version of the Stewart tartan. It is very close in sett to the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan.

Aye,

I really like the so-called "Old Stewart" tartan:

The Old Stewart is one of four tartans that Strathmore is now producing in the authentic Wilsons of Bannockburn colors (late eighteenth century, early nineteenth century dye colors). They are doing it in a medium weight (13 oz) cloth.

I agree, and I have eight yards of this and will be making an attempt to sew my own eight-yard kilt out of this tartan. But it has a 15 inch sett(!), so it's a bit of a challenge (I'll be pleating it to the stripe on the "half-sett" for a more managable 7.5 inch sett).
