This is a pic that I took of my favourite extant garment fragment from the MOL. I have stared at images of this for hours. Even seen the real thing under glass but somehow I never realised before tonight that it is made from TARTAN fabric! It is not terribly obvious but is visible. Even faintly visible in the London finds book "Textiles and Clothing". So why did I never see it before? Now I want a tartan gown. Hmm, I may even already have the fabric!

Giotto (from memory, though it might be Piero della Francesca and I can't be bothered standing up to look) painted at least one tartan/check frock.
