Thank you sir, what I did not make clear was that it seems the MacLaren sett currently woven by most if not all the mills seems to be a simplified version of the tartan pictured in the original post. They have dropped the double tracks. Personally, I like the sett with the double tracks, but it appears it would have to be a special order.

Thanks again,
