    Another request for help identifing a Tartan

    A lady walked into my shop yesterday wearing a pant and vest combination with this Tartan.



    When compared side-by-side with a bolt of Lochcarron's McDonald Lord of the Isles the background colors are almost exactly the same.
    This fabric was probably woven by Lochcarron from the quality and hand. It is in the 13 oz. range and at one time had a good kilt selvdge.
    The lady had made the outfit quite a few years ago from a bolt a friend had brought back from Scotland. She has forgotten the name of the Tartan and my search has not yet found it.

    Any ideas from the rabble?

    Thank you Matt. I knew you would come up with the answer faster than I could get a reply from the STA.

    Well, I may be a member of the STA, But I am no expert on Tartans and frankly get a headache looking through swatch books.
    If I had sent this request to the STA it would have taken days if not weeks to get a reply.
    This is why I asked. Knowing you, Matt, you know this stuff so well you just seem to magically pull it out of some part of your brain that I don't think I got when my DNA combined.

    Again, thanks. The lady will be very happy. She can now tell all the other ladies at her church the name of the Tartan in her outfit.
