Keep in mind that the same tartan can look rather different depending on the mill that produces it. So if you look at a photo of, say, the Hunting Stewart tartan on Linda Clifford's page and she's got a photo of a swatch from Strathmore, it's not going to necessarily reflect what a kilt purchased from Frugal Corner would look like. The only way to see that would be for Frugal Corner to have photos of the actual cloth they use on their web site.
If you go here to our gift shop's cloth page, you'll note that we provide hyperlinks to availability lists for all of the woolen mills that we order cloth from:
http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/material.html
So if you are looking to order cloth from Ingles Buchan in 9 oz spring weight, you can see photos of their actual cloth. And then you can check the availability lists of Lochcarron's 10 oz range and Strathmore's 11 oz range and see how that same tartan compares. You may find you like the looks of one better than the other.
Of course, the *best* way to compare is to request samples be sent to you!
Aye,
Matt
