    I understand that Nauga are bred special for their hyde, but that the wild Nauga's hyde is superior.:-D

    They'll be OK ... Nauga are very good hiders.

    These appear to be the old Stillwater standards. Buckles look exactly the same and the description is spot on as best I can tell. The conversion gets the price to about $50. Not bad to have the other tartans even if it is a 2005 Stillwater.

    I wonder how many died to make my car interior... Poor wee beasties. Do they have any affiliation with the three legged haggis, I wonder?

    Back on topic- I love the tartans they offer. Only reason I haven't bought one is that they're only acrylic, and I hate and fear that crap. It's a loose weave and I have cats, and it's flamable (very!!) and I camp a lot. On the other hand, they have some really unique accesories that I one day may look into getting.

    I had a wild Nauga in the sights of my muzzle loader diring the last hunting season, but I let him go because it was an immature Nauga. The adults have dark brown or even black hide. The one I was looking at through ny scope was almost a blond color and thus clearly a juvinile. Alas, it was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, because they can hide so well.
