Custom-Run of Original Culloden Tartan

[Derek Conley]

The only dumb question is the one not asked. I'm inquiring in having a period jacket made of this tartan which I would have matched to box pleat tailored by Matt. Sir William has given me Barkertown Sutlers as a possible tailor for the jacket.

Anyone else have a recommendation?

Their work looks pretty good!

Slightly off-topic, was it done that the tartan jacket would match the tartan kilt, or were 2 differing tartans generally used?

Both. I've seen paintings of the individual dressed up in jacket, wesket, great kilt or trews, and hose all in the same tartan, or a mix of two or more tartans.

There seemed to be a preference for the tartans to match if trews were worn, but not necessarily when the kilt was worn.

I would definitely be interested in 2 yds of double-width, possibly more. I will watch this space!
