Is this a recognized or fashion tartan? Looks close to the Campbell of Armaddie sett, but with the colours reversed... and I'm not sure what you'd call the 'ground' colour. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harris-Tweed...item19d661e226

looks exactly like the Harris tweed I've been considering ("lusting after"), from Harris tweed Highland shop - # AO124 Check ( double width 19/20 oz @ 64GBP per meter): http://www.harristweedshop.com/tweed-harris-check.html
waulk softly and carry a big schtick
Harris tweed can be bought cheaper than that. Search for "Butt of Lewis Textiles".

I notice the description says "PERFECT" but it's a 44R instead of a 44L, so hardly.

The buttons look different ? wound why ? then Harris Tweed Jackets

It's not just the weight or coarseness of the cloth and to my mind several of those shown are in fact tartan and not tweed.
