Mods, can I suggest that this thread is moved to the Tartan section.

USA Kilt's Warrior tartan...

Color doesn't show on my monitor as the true purple it is.

Marton Mills has a wool version of their polyviscose Warrior tartan. It's called Highland Mist, in the 16-ounce Jura range of tartans. You can find it from MM, clan.com, or your favorite kiltmaker.

Warrior's colors are purple, dark purple (almost black), and white. As far as my eye can tell from the screen, Highland Mist is identical.

Found another pic that kinda sorta shows the Warrior tartan purple in polyviscose.

Update on Highland Mist. I have the actual fabric in my hands. It was expected about a month ago, but given the vagaries of domestic and world-wide shipping right now, I'm just glad to have it!

Here's a photo, but my digital camera seems to show it about 2 shades more blue than my eye. The Marton Mills Jura "Highland mist" is at top, the MM Balmoral (PV) Warrior below, in the form of a USA Kilts casual model.

I was interested to see that the wool has a smaller sett size than the PV. The wool is about 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) as advertised. The PV is about 14 cm.

For comparison, on the left are 4 shades of purple: kilt hose in purple and "thistle" from House of Cheviot; a tie, and some acrylic yarn that may one day be a scarf. On the right, the MM Jura MacGregor of Cardney (a work in progress)---not purple, but maroon and dark green. Its sett size is 14x15 cm, a bit more difference in warp and weft than the others.

It is interesting to see a number of non-purple tartans are in both lists. This is based on the use of terms like claret and magenta being used to describe what was originally red in tartans like Crawford and Stuart of Bute.
