anybody got a kilt in Thistle Dubh tartan?

I attended our largest local Highland Games yesterday, Costa Mesa, and at one booth- it must have been Geoffrey Tailor, I saw a large sample of a quite lovely tartan called Thistle Dubh.

It's one they weave themselves, in their showroom factory up near the Castle in Edinburgh.

The fabric weight is 16/17 ounce, the guy said. It's in their "Auld Reeky" range.

The swatch had lovely colours. They also had a grey-on-grey version, and the guy said they had a purple version too but he didn't have a swatch of it.

Do any members have a photo of a kilt in this tartan they could post? Thanks!

I think Hamish has a kilt in this tartan.

As someone else pointed out, searching xmarks is better from Google which remembers more. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-tartan-14125/

I did google, and came up with no kilt photos. In fact the only photo of the tartan itself that came up was at this golf grip place:

That X Marks thread showed the all-grey version. Above is the "normal" Thistle Dubh, still dull, but with lavendar and green etc in it.

The actual fabric swatch I saw was somewhat more colourful than the computer image here.
