I am fairly new at this, though - would they still be considered the same tartan if they have the same colours/pattern but a different thread count?

I'd like to be able to tell any Ramsays that the tartan I am wearing is different in some way to theirs (unless, of course, it isn't).

And Mike, I like it as well which is why I'm fairly certain that's the one I'll be starting with and we'll see if kilts really are like Lays potato chips...
