I know that cotton is "death cloth" that does not insulate when wet and can be dangerous to wear in cold (or even lukewarm) weather.

I know that wool does insulate when wet, and therefore makes a good base layer in winter.

Are there any other natural fibers that make a good base layer for cold weather activities outdoors, or are wool and synthetics your only options?

Can anyone here maybe help to identify a tartan?

I recently bought some fabric with the following pattern on it. I made a bowtie and pocket square out of it; except for fraying like hell, it's quite nice.

I looked it up in the scottish register of tartans and couldn't find a match, so I'm assuming it's some generic plaid woven by the mill, but I'm curious if it isn't someone's tartan after all. Both for curiosity and because I wouldn't want to step on any toes by wearing someone's clan tartan or something like this.

I reproduced it as well as I could pixel by pixel, here it is.

A green tartan. The background is bottle green, with a light green check running over it. Each such cross is framed by two purple borders (gren space in between) with a thin (single thread) white border on each inside of the double border and a more prominent (two thread) white stripe running the centre of the double border.
