You are right! That is an absolutely beautiful fabric. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Do you have enough for another? I have a jacket that would look fantastic with that.

Aye

David... the thread count is still the same, and the colors are not really any different than doing a "muted" or "weathered" version of a tartan. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it came out nice.

Rocky,

Not trying to quibble, but I don't think you're correct. Match up the shades to what they should be.

The maroon color in the tweed replaces green in the tartan. The light, lovat green replaces blue. The light brownish color would seem to replace yellow, but if that's the case, then it shouldn't also be used as the color of the narrow stripe in the middle of the teal. The replacement colors for the narrow stripes (replacing white on red and black on yellow in the real tartan) should not be the same as either of the base color stripes. It isn't just a case of the colors being a different shade (dark green goes to light green, or green goes to brown), but it's actually a different thread count. The key is the narrow stripes (black on yellow and red on white) and the broader stripe (blue on green) in the real tartan. That's what you have to use to see the switching of the colors and the difference from the real thread count.

Does that make sense?
