Outlander tartans: Questions

[dcommini]

Did you see the XMarks discussion of the Outlander tartans and their near-exactitude to MacKay (Weathered)?

Here it is, with nice photos

If I wanted an Outlander-looking kilt I'd go with Weathered MacKay, assuming that it's available and at the normal price of kilting cloth.

Here's Weathered MacKay



and Outlander

I wanted to note that while very similar to a Weathered MacKay the Celtic Croft has the Fraser and MacKenzie tartans that have s light variation.

Fraser seems to have some yellow and red added in.
.
MacKenzie seems to have a blue pin stripe added in.

Either way, getting just the base Weathered MacKay would do the job as it looks just like the regular Outlander tartan the they have for sale.

Also, the actual MacKenzie tartan is similar to the Armstrong and Davidson tartans, and the Fraser tartan has a lot of red, blue, and green. I know that the tartans weren't necessarrily associated with clans until later than what Outlander is set (I think. I can't remember the years), so I see no need to order these tartans other than 1) supporting a business, and 2) being a fan of the show.
