That is probably the same source as the tartan I just bought - a 16oz and a 13/14 oz, one an 8 yard kilt length and one a 4 yard piece.

Unfortunatly I don't have any other tartan to compare it with, but as a piece of fabric each one is perfect with a good selvage, it is almost evenly woven and heavy, dense stuff. By evenly woven I mean that the pattern is almost square. Theoreticaly the patterns should be perfectly square, but in fact - I read here - they are not. This is close to being square.

The cloth is slightly rough to the touch, but I think that is typical of worsted type cloth, and my dad's tweed jackets were certainly rougher than this stuff.

For the price I think it is a bargain, and I could certainly have spent several hundred pounds on it, quite happily.
