No, Grant. OC Richard and Fluter had both mentioned kilts on ebay, OCR a "black on black" tartan and Fluter specifically mentioning Black Isle tartan kilts. I just wanted folks to know that Black Shadow tartan and Black Isle tartan are entirely different tartans, although similar in appearence from a few feet away, and both available from Marton Mills in heavyweight wool. Black Isle is actually a district tartan for the peninsular area north of Inverness that is famous for its barley crop and known as, well, Black Isle, even though it is technically not an island. Black Shadow is a fashion tartan made of all black threads of varying texture, as Emmett corrected me above.
I am not particularly familiar with Stillwater's kilts having only visited the site a couple times and never ordered, worn, or to the best of my knowledge even personally seen a Stillwater kilt of any type or tartan.
