Good tartan choice -- one rarely sees the Coburg tartan these days!
It's the same sett as Graham of Mentieth, but with purple in place of blue. This is also one of the tartans recommended for those of German heritage.
I really hope that when you get some clearer pictures of your kilt there is some green in there somewhere, though! From the pic you posted it looks all black and purple.
Here's the Coburg from the National Register...

This is taken from the Scotweb site for Coburg. Which matches the kilt exactly - but no green.

Whichever, A good looking kilt never-the-less and quite unique!
Regards
Chas

There is a bit of green but not as much as in the picture of the national register.
Here is a link to the description of the material from scotweb: http://www.scotweb.co.uk/tartan/Coburg-Modern/64943
Either way I do like the tartan the way it is
