    Hopefully Colin will check in on this question, as he had this material before the fellow from whom I bought it. As near as I could find, this tartan was designed by Col. Wayne J. Morgan in October 2003. Found that info here. It's 14 oz. Australian Merino wool woven by Fraser and Kirkbright. I got 6 and a half yards 29 inches wide and sent it to Rocky. Being so newly designed and not finding any other references to it anywhere, I guess there's a chance it may be from the only batch woven. Just a theory, but it seems possible. Like I said, Colin may have more, hope he checks in.

    A sharp look from a real find of the tartan. A family heirloom for sure.

    But you know Rocky is just practicing up for the tidal wave of Navy kilts that will soon crash upon his shop.....
