Beautiful. What are Wilson Colors? I've seen that term before, but how does it compare to "modern", "ancient", or "weathered" colors?

Wilsons were 'the' tartan weavers of the late 18th and 19th centuries. They were the first work with standard colours and had stock dye recipies by 1783. An idea of how their shades compare with modern chemical dyed cloth is discussed here.

It's a distinct possibility.
