Hi guys In my quest to create my own kilt, I have found a haberdashers that has some tartan fabrics, but with the vastness of tartans available, and my being red/green colourblind, I struggle to ID the tartans, could I get your help? I have attached them here. Apologies for image quality, was a quick snap before they were closing!

ahhh ok! I mean, for the price (it's all polyviscose), at £3 per metre, I may as well get a few yards and have a crack at it! Worst comes to worst, I can make a skirt for my kids, best comes to best, I get a nice new kilt Will try with the actual named patterns though
The middle tartan is Auld Lang Syne Grey "designed and produced by Kinloch Anderson" https://www.kinlochanderson.com/tartan/auld-lang-syne The original Auld Lang Syne tartan has pretty stained-glass-window colours. The blue & yellow one, though simpler and more garish, is along the lines of these tartans University of Glasgow: Charleston Police Pipes & Drums:
