My question to the rabble is: what tartan readily available from the various mills most closely approximates the Braveheart tartan worn by Mel Gibson in the movie? I am looking for a tartan in which all of the colors are muted, and would not make me look like an overstuffed barcalounger from 1969.

Some time ago, back in 2007, our own Rocky of USA Kilts tracked down the Braveheart Tartan worn by Mel Gibson in the movie. He also reported that the tartan was of a loose weave, and was not suitable for a stitched, or tailored kilt. The original thread is here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...t-kilts-28432/

I am looking for suggestions as to a substitute from which a tailored kilt could be made. What say you all?
