    You'll see the same tartan woven then and now, and note the difference, sometimes.

    Yours strike me as "old school" for that reason.

    What tartan generator are you using, if I might ask? It looks great.
    Thank you, Richard. Very kind of you, sir. I'm using the Scotweb tartan designer. It's an excellent tool a wise investment on Nick's part.

    I agree that they do have an old school feel to them. The more I look at them the more I like them and do favour the older style over the newer style of tartan design. What started as a creative exercise might just upstage some earlier drafts that I came up with for a new family tartan. We shall see.
