Bored with my neckties, let's talk about options

Slightly OT but reference Reproduction Colours

Here's what DC Dalgliesh has to say about this palette:

"Probably the most historically authentic tartans on the market, derived from fragment of tartan cloth more than two centuries old, dug up from the historic Culloden Moor in 1946. Careful analysis and research into the original dyes by DC Dalgliesh led to a range of tartans designed to be authentic in colour and design to those worn in 1745 and before. They have a soft muted effect reminiscent of the days when vegetable sources such as lichen, moss and alder bark provided the dyer's raw materials."

I'd take that with a grain of salt, but still, the colours are appealing.

Absolutely, a whole salt cellar in fact. Complete and utter marketing nonsense. Years ago I challenged Kenny Dalgliesh to produce said artefact and/or the dye analysis which, given the alleged provenance, would be of considerable historical importance. Funny old thing, he never replied. The claim about vegetable dyes demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the source of many 'traditional' natural dyes.
