I had posted a thread a couple of years ago when I was looking for some tartan material in waxed canvas or similar material to use as a tablecloth. You might find some leads on material there:
Gostwear.com out of Montreal(I think) makes a heavyweight wool hunting trousers with a tartaney check pattern. I believe it’s like 28oz (!!) wool or something like that, and there might be a matching jacket. There are also overalls as well. 9C334FC3-0399-44B1-9BC1-3E74680B5C7C.jpg

I have a couple pairs of these for work. Sadly the manufacturer doesn't produce a jacket in the same weight, just the trousers and overalls. They do have matching jackets for their lighter 21oz and 24oz blended wool fabrics, but from my experience the 28oz wool seems to be of higher quality.

Jock, I agree that the right tartan would make fantastic camouflage, a point that has been noted in other threads. Heck, even Loud McLeod is more effective camouflage than the previous US Army pattern. UCP: UN-Camouflaged Pattern is what that is!
My personal favorite right now is a family tartan, Ross Hunting Weathered. https://www.usakilts.com/gallery/13-...ered-7647/view
