Visit www.jcrew.com to see the beautiful, informative introduction (complete with bagpipe music and a Scottish narrator) to "A Highland Holiday" and the Isle of Skye.
*Ahem* Surely you mean Scottish tweeds!

Fun presentation. Thanks.
One of their stores is walking distance to me.
I love their stuff even if I can’t afford everything I like.
One critique: Their ”Black Watch tartan vest”, …“The Campbell clan's ‘ancient’ tartan...” appears to have red and yellow and white/grey lines in it.
That's not right is it?

problem with "non scottish companies" doing tartans is that they often get them wrong.
They probably didn't do the IOS tartan b/c it's privately owned and they didn't want to pay a royalty to use it.
The do get an "A for Effort" however for using Scottish models ON SKYE. That's a "stand up company" that at least they're supporting the culture they're manking money from...

Rocky, that's a really good point, and if they did get some of the details wrong maybe we can overlook it. The show Skye and Scotland in a very good light.
Maybe someone should show this to the Gold Brothers.
