Alas, mine did not come from Rocky's stable, but it is in PolyVis and is perfect for summer wear in the Northern climes!

That's the first time I've seen Derek out of his brown high-tops! Deos that mean he travels with two cut-outs?

Rocky, I've been wondering what tartan kilt I should order from you. That Highland Granite is nice.

Now, if I can just hold out until the credit card gets paid back down.

Always a pleasure, Rocky! Someday I'll kick the habit?? I sure hope not!

I hope I was of some help with the opinion questions you had.

It can't be the real Derek cut-out . . . the foot position is wrong. Is this an imposter?? Identity theft?? Has our Derek been kidnapped??

is Grey Granite different than Highland Granite or are they one and the same?

My mistake. I meant Grey Granite. I believe there is also a Highland Granite tartan and I probably mized them up in my head. They are similar, but I believe they are different.

Highland Granite is ONLY in wool and is made by Lochcarron

Granite City, Silver Granite, and Grey Granite (all the same pattern... slight variations in weaving process and/or material... PV vs. Wool) are woven by Marton Mills.

Admitedly, MOST of the grey and black tartans look similar. There's no color to make any 1 THAT much different from another. It's sort of like the "Shadow Tartans"... no matter what mill you get them from, they all look pretty much the same since it's black on black (or navy/navy or cream/cream or white/white...).
