[QUOTE=erracht;6946]As an example of different looks to tartan, here is a photo of three Cameron of Erracht bits. Upper left is a more recent set of trews. Upper right is a pre-1961 kilt (coarser, slightly thicker wool than the trews). Lower portion is an earlier kilt (remnants of paper label) which has nice fading to it.
It is quite true that tartans produced in the ww2 era and especially earlier, were of a lighter and slightly less dense shade of coloring. Modern tartans tend to be quite dark or deep in shade.
