Figheadair postively identified my new kilt, and I believe him, as being in sett STWR #1825, clan Scott monochrome.

Truly I believe him, the dude knows a bunch about tartan and weaving and the whole lot, but I don't understand.

This is the piece I would need to "tile" to make my desktop background STWR 1825 as defined by the STWR:



But this, more or less, is the piece I would need to "tile" to make my new kilt the desktop background on my windoze machine:



So my questions, is this a common, everyday occurence? I don't mind, I am just wondering if I see a kilt similar to mine only with extra black instead of extra white thread, is it still 1825? Does this happen a lot? Do I really have to look at stripes instead of blocks and let go of proportions to identify setts?

Just curious, but looking forward to some discussion on this. Thanks.
