    The Tartan is Cockburn.

    It appears to be a Weathered or Reproduction color variant.

    I do not see this color variant listed on any weavers stock fabric list.

    Can you tell us a little bit more about where you got this image.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    A female Scottish acquaintance of mine was wearing it as a skirt and claimed it was their family's tartan. I took the photograph myself, but for some reason the forum turned the image on its side. Its more clearly a skirt if you turn the image the right way around. I spent hours trying to find a match - but failed.

    With your help (thanks) I've found it as "Cockburn Muted" here: http://www.heritageofscotland.com/clan/cockburn/201
    It looks like it costs £28.68 per meter. Is that a good price?

    Thanks
    Andrew.

    Please note that this price is for 10oz light weight fabric. Most would consider this to be too light for a kilt. 10oz fabric is usually used for ties, vests and other accessories.

    Kilts are usually made from 13oz or 16oz fabrics.
