Custom-Run of Hunting MacMillan in Reproduction Colors

[davidlpope]

Just wanted to provide a quick update. I picked up the custom woven tartan from my importer this weekend. Here's how it turned out:

The true colors are pretty close to the photo- although a photographer I'm not! It's basically the Dalgliesh reproduction colors, but with a different yellow and a darker charcoal/burnt umber for the black.

The thread count is based on the STA had with a minor modification (I made the blue/grey "block" a little wider to "balance out" the green/brown portion of the tartan). The sett size is right at 9 inches, so I think it will look really nice done up in a kilt. I've already mailed out a kilt length of the fabric to one fellow clansman and am waiting for the other lucky fellow to get back into town so he can take receipt of his.

I've raved about it before, but I really think that Ken Dalgliesh weaves the finest kilt fabric in the world.

Cordially,

David
