    Okay, I've had this question in my head regarding the dress Gordon for some time now, and this seems as good a place as any to bring it up. I've frequently seen two versions of the tartan, and interestingly enough, the first two to post on this thread have each posted one of the two.

    In the picture McMurdo posted, every occurance of the thick white stripes is flanked on either side by a thin yellow stripe in green.

    However, in Beloit's, every other occurance of the thick white stripes is flanked by the thin yellows.

    I like the second better, personally, but are both correct? is one a more accurate dress gordon, and one a look-alike-ish? (ala the black watch half-sett tartan?)

    Or am I missing something altogether?
