Mr. MacD,

Thanks for the link. I'll check 'em out.

Chris C.,

Nope, acryllic is verboten. It must be 100% wool, and
it must be at least 18 ounces or more in weight. We use
it for 18th century reenacting purposes, so it must be
authentic, or reasonably so. We do a redcoated Highland
unit from Skye, the 76th Foot. Sometimes we wear kilts
or plaids, other times we wear campaigne trousers. Anyway,
I have an 1819 pattern I'd like to have followed, which is
pretty close to modern Black Watch, but there are differences.
Also, the shades are different. Period green was more like an
olive, and the enlisted mens blue was more purplish, reflecting
the cheaper dyes. I have a sample piece of fabric which I can
send for the shades, though the pattern might be problematic.

Thanks much!

Alex
