    As you know Alan, I rarely comment on tartans-------apart from perhaps my own--------as it can cause upset and was a lesson I learned as a child, but the Wildcat tartan is like a vintage port, it was damn good when launched, it improves with age and will get even better as time goes on.

    Good to know that Alan did a "catch and release" on the Wildcat tartan wearer. My question is, "did you convince him to join the forum?" as a tracking method for future sightings.

    Does he have a tag in his ear??? Or a radio collar, seeing a troop of researchers with an areal antenna in hand in a suburban neighborhood in SoCal would be soooooo cool......

    I am so pleased to read your comments, you know that during the design process I named this the "Jock Scot Variant." due to all your useful suggestions.

    Lovely. My wife was given a wildcat neck-warming infinity scarf at the BC Games this weekend. It's even better in real life than in all the pics posted.

    Do you know, I had forgotten that! Always glad to assist where I can.

    You did a nice job, Alan, with your piece of the MacNaughton special weave ( still haven't started sewing any of mine )
