Which muted tartan?

Having both swatches here in front of me at the shop, the Strathmore one wins hands down (in my opinion). The Edgar swatch is very nice, but I like the "brownish look" of the Strathmore one.

To answer your question directly... Strathmore's is more "subdued" while HOE's is more "ancient" in this comparison (in my opinion).

Shoot. I saw Rocky had responded to this thread, and hoped maybe he had some Hunting Robertson in PV laying around (or in the works).

If you're gonna have it sewn up in the U.S. you don't gotta do all the footwork yourself. Kiltmakers have much more experience and access to fabric choices.

Just call up your kiltmaker of choice, tell him/her what you want, and they'll let you know the choices. Then decide.

Having said that, I do the same thing you do....then bug my kiltmaker and confuse her.

I have hand sewn kilts out of both House of Edgar and Strathmore woven cloth. You can focus on the look you want since both mills make top quality fabric. Nothing to worry about quality wise.

Ain't it fun!!??
