- 01/06/1998 — Pendleton Dress (register-of-tartans, record)
From Pendleton Mills, established in 1863 and located in Portland, Oregon. Ms Annette Hoeffel from Pendleton Woolen Mills is mentioned but it's not known in what capacity - contributer or designer. This tartan and #2467 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) are virtually identical with the tan line in the former being replaced with a yellow line for the 'Dress'. Pendelton #3 is possibly the one that should be labelled dress. The family business Pendleton Mills, holds the reputation for the manufacture of quality woollens using tartan. - 1998 — Pendleton Dress (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
