According to Zaczek's "World Tartans", the Prince of Wales tartan was produced in 1998 by Locharron.

What would Hamish say about that Dickie bow!!

I think he'd say get a black one! Personally I think the bow tie is over the top too but the vendor tried to show all of the available items in that tartan at once. The only thing missing are the flashes but they sell 2 variations (pointed & purled) and I think that would have required a model to display and models are expensive.

He didnt display the optional travel rug and biscuit tin.

actually its quite a nice Tartan, I sometimes play in a pipe band that wears Black Stuart (which is similar) and they have nice Kilts made at the House of Edgar,

LOL but I have found a site that makes custom dog/cat collars, dog harnesses, leashes & doggie coats in your choice of tartans!

I'm actually tempted to get one... for my dog of course, smart-alek!
