Help need kilt with a bit of pink

Howzabout the Glasgow?

There are a number of tartans with 'Glasgow' in their names, but I didn't think any of them actually had any pink in them. See http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/...rtan=By+Tartan for a view of them. As Matt said, the STA tartan images have a charcoal-coloured outline on each 'thread' of the tartan, so the overall effect may appear a bit darker than reality in many of the images.

Cyndi,
I've found that the STA uses abbreviations for colors in their thread counts that I am not familiar with. I havent' discussed it with anyone, but I would assume they have had to go beyond the more standard color codes as used by D. C. Stewart simply to catalog all of the different shades of colors now in use by the woolen mills. I don't know what the "X" indicates in front of "R" which could either mean Red or Rose. But "S" would designate Scarlett.

If I were at work and had access to The Setts of the Scottish Tartans, I'm pretty sure he gives the threadcount for this tartan there, and I could find that for you.

Thanks, Matt. I will suggest to Brian that he should put a comprehensive listing of all abbreviations used in the ITI threadcounts somewhere on the STA web site. If there's one there now, I can't find it. But there should be!

I feel really stupid... of COURSE S=Scarlet! How silly of me not to think of it. Duh! I suppose AS makes sense for pink, though I think of Scarlet as being an orangey colour and thus not representative of a clear pink hue as AS (Ancient Scarlet). In the Alberta tartan pink is designated CLR (Clear Light Red), which sounds more 'pinkish' to me!
