Designing a Tartan

[Pikeman]

Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions.

[Mr. MacDougall]

Thanks for the suggestions.

You're welcome. Have fun with it... one place to start would be to look at other tartans, and see what you like. Try incorporating some of those design ideas in what you're doing.

My friends and I have a living history project we're trying to get off the ground, and one of the things we've done so far is design a tartan. Eventually, when we have a little money, we'll register it. I find it amusing to think of getting one of the big mills to weave some in 16 oz strome....

For the STA, it HAS to be woven AND a sample sent TO THEM.
Matt could help arrange it fairly easily (not sure of his charges, if any).

I'm aware of the requirements. Unfortunately, though we have the knowledge and skills for doing living history, we're all in a point in our lives right now where we can't afford to do the things we'd have to do to get a tartan registered. In the mean time, we're keeping the design close to our collective chest, and not even mentioning where our inspirations came from, lest someone else register something too close to it, before we're ready to proceed.

And I'm sure it's worth every penny for his help, but Matt charges about a grand for tartan design and registration.

Agreed. I really like the Sonoran Scotsmen tartan i designed and I would love to have a weave done of it and have it registered, but for right now, it's going to have to sit on the back burner due to how much it costs. I'm hoping to treat myself for Christmas, or maybe after i get my tax return next year, but it will happen. It's just a matter of when. I'm hoping that nobody here takes the weave that i did, but if they do from now until then, then oh well, that's life.
