o-XI, tartan with the twill bend sinisterwise
Quarterly: 1 Sable, an «o» Or; 2 and 3 Or, two Wolves passant, in pale Sable; 4 Sable, an «XI» Or.
The image was produced using an alternative method for painting tartans. One of the key considerations has been the orientation of the twill: I have seen it represented both as bend sinisterwise and bendwise. In symmetric tartans, this difference may simply depend on how the cloth is positioned or, in photographs, on the direction from which the picture is taken. Photographing a piece of fabric from the south rather than from the east is enough to switch the diagonal from bend sinisterwise to bendwise, or vice versa. In symmetric tartans nothing essential changes except the visual direction of the twill.
However, in asymmetric tartans, such as the one shown here, these rotations do affect the order in which the design must be read and painted. I have also found books that consistently use one orientation, others that use the opposite one, and some that mix orientations depending on the specific tartan. I have seen a photograph of «The King Charles III tartan», (as can be seen in King Charles III Tartan, collage), worn by His Majesty himself, clearly shows the twill running in a bend sinisterwise direction, which gave me definitive confirmation that this orientation is perfectly valid for illustrating a tartan. Nevertheless, I do not rule out rendering it in the bendwise direction as well, since that is the style most commonly used in Tartan Register publications.
Additionally, the thread counts listed in the Tartan Register are typically double what the eye perceives in a woven cloth. This is because real weaving uses a double-pass system to achieve the density and colour blending characteristic of Scottish twill; consequently, the Register records the full structural count, while an accurate illustrated representation may require halving those numbers to match the visual appearance.
