So aside from the selvedge, the 'hand' may be different, as well as perhaps the warp/weft proportions, etc.
What's interesting is that House of Edgar has their "Hebridean" range which contains both newly-created fashion tartans and existing Clan tartans given a bit more "fashion" look.
Keeping with the Stewart Black theme, here's that tartan in HoE's Hebridean Range (you have to scroll down to see it)
