    It's possible but none of them seem to fit properly. There is another sett which appears to align better.

    After having an opportunity to peruse some sources:
    1. the arrangement of the over-stripes
    2. the exposure of the light and "white" spraings relative to my B&W-to-colour charts
    3. the distinction between the gradient of the patterned section v. the ground colour

    Is it MacBeth?
    I'll tell ya, the difference in the size of the setting for the jacket and the waistcoat is enough to give me pause.

    First off, I should say that I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I have a working hypothesis. Ryan, you are right about the difference in the sett sizes being confusing, however the jacket is easiest to work with. The broad ground area, which is a pivot is flanked by a darker, narrower band which is itself guarded (flanked) by a pale strip. I take the latter to be white, yellow, or possibly light blue. The MacBeth doesn't follow this theme.

    Mr. MacDonald,
    Ok. I'm off to work, then I'll continue. As well, thank you for the updated Moy Hall Paper.
