I agree with you and would be loathe to design any new tartan that didn't make use of black guards on red, white, or yellow stripes. The design may appear fine when woven in Modern or WOB colors, but the stripes tend to fade into the underlying color in the Ancient or Weathered color schemes. Yellow stripes on blue are particularly prone to this, although red on green doesn't fair well either.
It's about a 12" sett complete with black selvedge mark and a coarse handle just like a piece of the period (late C18th).

I'm toying with making it up but still have some of my own cloth that I'll probably use first so this piece might be up for grabs.
