I keep running into tartans that appear to be trademarked, if that's the right word- is that common?

For instance, it turned into a hassle to get something with the UC Riverside tartan, and the Jewish tartan was a pain, too.

EDIT: And the California tartan is always insanely expensive when you can even find it. We had some idiots quarreling over which tartan wasn't allowed at a wedding so they were going to go with California as a compromise, since everyone lives here these days, but it turned out to be a complete PITA to manage it, so everyone wore their regular tartans and the MILs sniped about it all day.

Can you actually tell all the tartans apart? I mean, I thought I knew the Stewart ones, since they're so common, but it turns out there are two other family ones, which I can't remember, that look practically identical in design.

Thanks. It's pretty annoying! And I suppose there's nothing stopping me weaving it myself except for the part where I'd have zero clue where to start.

I'm really glad you took over the mill! Thank you very much.

So where should a person go to buy tartan bed-sized blankets? I only ever see throws.

Queen size is the most common here and it's 152.5 cm x 203.5 cm. (So, sounds possible but I don't ever see them.)
