Summary
[edit]DescriptionBlack Watch with herringbone bottom selvedge mark.png |
English: This is an image of a tartan selvedge mark, in herringbone, as used at the bottom of a kilt. The design used is Black Watch tartan, and the selvedge-mark style is one consistent with military kilts (civilian selvedge marks were sometimes more colourful). This type of tartan selvedge replaces or "comes after", as it were, the sett with a wide band of colour (in this case black) already used in the set, and optionally finishes (as this example does) with a contrasting thin line of other colour also used already in the sett (blue in this case), and was sometimes done in herringbone weave (as shown in this example). It was very common for belted plaids and later small kilts of the original Highland regiments to have selvedge marks of this sort, as shown in a few surviving cloth samples and many portraits, but they were not consistent from unit to unit or time period to time period, seemingly left to the whims of the weaver.
This image is full-sett, with the selvedge mark added. The image can tile horizontally, but cannot tile vertically. |
