There have been questions posted about the different colors for the different 'materials' for the Isle of Skye tartan. I just received a 'Bright Skye' kilt (what Frugal Corner calls their 'Isle Of Skye' tartan) and I personally OWN an Isle of Skye kilt, and we have PV Isle of Skye material. I took a picture with ALL 3 in the same shot.

The kilt in the TOP of this picture is Lochcarron's Isle of Skye in WOOL
The piece of material ON AN ANGLE (to make sure you could see it was different) is a piece of Isle of Skye tartan in PV material from Marton Mills
The kilt in the BOTTOM of this picture is a 'Bright Skye' tartan kilt from Frugal Corner
