    Traditional Plaid Settings

    It's interesting to see members' outfits but I note that they are principally, if not exclusively, made from off the shelf tartan, be it clan or otherwise.

    Whilst I appreciate that it's often simply a matter of cost, I'm surprised that no-one has opted to go for an historically accurate plaid sett.

    There are a number of patterns that would fit the bill and if one wanted to go the whole hog then there are some fantastic embellishments that would make any project unique: for example; herringbone selvedges, selvedge marks and selvedge patterns.
