Tartan ID Help
I am hoping someone can help me ID this. It's a ladies kilted skirt, I've done some searching and can't figure out which, if any, tartan it is. Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

It doesn't look symmetrical between warp & weft, so I'm going to say it's not a tartan. Not a clan tartan anyway, more a fashion tartan-like weave.

It's an asymmetric fashion tartan based on the Government sett. Notice the alternating position of the tramlines.

Definitely a fashion weave which is not asymmetric in the normal sense, it has a different warp and weft. The warp is Red Watch, a fashion tartan that's been around for a few years. I've never seen an actual sample and it may be that this version was how the RW has always been woven.
