Tartan of the Month - May 12: What do you see?

[Dixiecat]

You're missing something.



54" x 3 yards x 2. Meaning?

Bedsized?

[jhockin]

perhaps a "day plaid"/ "pladie"??

[figheadair]

I interpreted the "x 2" to refer to the 27" width doubled to make 54". Are there two identical pieces? Is there one 6 yards?

Yes and no but........!

[figheadair]

perhaps a "day plaid"/ "pladie"??

Historically there was not such thing as a 'day plaid'.

[MacGumerait]

Yes and no but........!

Perhaps it's use is not a garment of clothing .

Perhaps it's use is not a garment of clothing .

As is the case with any old specimen, the current use is not necessarily an indication of the previous/original use.

[jhockin]

could it have been an arisaid?

[figheadair]

could it have been an arisaid?

Historical use is always tricky to be definitive about but what makes you think so?

Please excuse my ignorance , I obviously missed a previous thread regarding this challenge ( I do love the challange ) as I am trying to understand if you are looking for an answer for the identity of the tartan or the use of the tartan shown .

Thanks , Mike
