Out of curiosity, was this made in the past couple years?
(Just wondering if they're going for that "Outlander" aesthetic-- weren't the tartans in that show {it was a show, not a movie, right?} extreme "weathered" versions?)
(To be fair, I kind of like it, though not because of Outlander, the book of which I wasn't that fond of.)

The Outlander tartans were nearly identical to MacKay in weathered colours.
Here's MacKay as woven by D C Dalgleish starting in 1949 in the colour-scheme they invented and called "reproduction" colours.
Later Lochcarron began weaving the same colour-scheme calling it "weathered" colours.
Here's one of the Outlander tartans. They left out a few narrow lines.
