I understand that Nauga are bred special for their hyde, but that the wild Nauga's hyde is superior.:-D

They'll be OK ... Nauga are very good hiders.

These appear to be the old Stillwater standards. Buckles look exactly the same and the description is spot on as best I can tell. The conversion gets the price to about $50. Not bad to have the other tartans even if it is a 2005 Stillwater.

I wonder how many died to make my car interior... Poor wee beasties. Do they have any affiliation with the three legged haggis, I wonder?

Back on topic- I love the tartans they offer. Only reason I haven't bought one is that they're only acrylic, and I hate and fear that crap. It's a loose weave and I have cats, and it's flamable (very!!) and I camp a lot. On the other hand, they have some really unique accesories that I one day may look into getting.

I had a wild Nauga in the sights of my muzzle loader diring the last hunting season, but I let him go because it was an immature Nauga. The adults have dark brown or even black hide. The one I was looking at through ny scope was almost a blond color and thus clearly a juvinile. Alas, it was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, because they can hide so well.

I'm also informed that the acrylic sheep don't have the problem of shrinking when it rains and therefore are much easier to care for by the sheepherders.

Chris.

but said acrylic sheep are known to have extra sharp hearing so the sheepherders are reputed to be full lime kilters...

I will head off & sit quietly in the corner for the rest of the evening
