That is certainly a very comprehensive site, Alan. Unfortunately, the process is well outside my own capabilities and I am most envious of those who, like you, can turn their hands (and minds!) to doing such things 
Well done!
Yes, you will find that 'Ettrick' is the name of the Lochcarron tweed that is used in the informal jacket, rather than the style of the jacket. I have two Argyll jackets, in lovat green and charcoal grey, and they were tailored using Ettrick tweed. Most Highland outfitters carry, or have tailored to measure, the standard Argyll jacket in Lovat Green, Lovat Blue and Charcoal, and more often than not the tweed will be 'Ettrick' from the Lochcarron mill.
