Faded military tartans?
I've posted this image before, the best photo I've come across showing fading changing the colours on an old military kilt.
I recently came across this vintage Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders kilt which seems to show fading (Ebay).
The black of the tartan is brown or drab.
However the seller happily posted photos of the inside of the kilt, which seems to show the same colours as the outside.
The only possibilities that come to mind are that the tartan was originally woven with those colours, or that washing (rather than sunlight) has caused the fading.
